Benandonner 2nd Newmarket

Benandonner ran a gallant 2nd to Namecheck on Saturday. As always with this horse he gave his very best on ground that was softer than ideal for him. He ate up on saturday night and was keen to get out on Sunday morning to his paddock. He has come out of the race well and we were looking to go to Goodwood with him. However, the handicapper has raised him 3lbs for his efforts and his next engagement will be the Shergar Cup mile race at Ascot on 6th August.
