Benbaun flying again
Benbaun’s winning spree stretched to the Group One Prix de l’Abbaye last year but he has failed to get his head in front this season in five starts.
He did not look like winning last week’s rescheduled Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at Newmarket either but found his feet in the closing stages to sprint through for fifth behind Borderlescott.
“I don’t know what happened in the Nunthorpe – he just couldn’t go with them for the first two furlongs and I thought we were going to have to carry him out on his shield,” said Wallace.
“But he went past loads of horses at the end and he almost looks like he wants six furlongs now.
“We’ll probably go to the Curragh again at the weekend, as they don’t tend to go as quick at the start of the sprints in Ireland.
“Then we could look at the Betfred Cup at Haydock over six furlongs.”
