OFF THE BENCH (3) is a 11-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1160m at Bath after he gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. GORGEOUS MR GEORGE (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1200m at this track, beaten 29 lengths into eighth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RAAVI (1) is back after a break of nine months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1200m at Great Yarmouth. Strong winning chance on best figures. JIMMY HENRY (5) finished fifth over 1400m at Chelmsford at his most recent appearance on February 13. Makes plenty of appeal.
