P2P.ie comment: Mellow Ben lost little in defeat on his only start on the pointing circuit, when finishing second in a four-year-old maiden at Loughrea in late April. The Beneficial gelding was waited with at the rear of the field in an effort to make the most of his pace in the closing stages. Steady headway to go second with two to jump, Donnchadh Doyle's charge did his best work late on, keeping the winner honest towards the business end. Out of Mellowthemoonlight who was a handicap hurdle winner for trainer Donal Hassett, Mellow Ben is sure to prove popular as he enters the Goffs UK sales ring.
