Bamako Beach heads this nine-runner Cork mile-minus contest narrowly ahead of Benevento on our figures, and the manner of recent form suggests that slim edge is a genuine one worth following at this level over seven furlongs on good ground. Benevento is the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Bella Isabella and Gleneagle Bay add depth to the dangers, though both are rated a few pounds shy of the principals. Bamako Beach looks a solid proposition to confirm superiority and is the selection.
