Benacre won over today’s trip at Epsom on his debut and is preferred to Redcar winner Sound Pressure, who scored over a shorter trip. But both are penalised and conceding weight to BELON. The latter showed a big improvement when upped to today’s distance at Salisbury and beaten less than a length and Charlie Hills’ colt gets the nod. Beechwood Mick can only improve while the newcomer Kev The Bread faces a tough task.
