Bentley can defy a penalty to land the finale; Willie Ever and Solo River are the others to consider. The selection won well last time out when he beat All You Need here over 7f. He is upped in trip again here which may well bring about further improvement and from a decent draw he can make it back-to-back successes. Willie Ever has been knocking on the door of late and he remains unexposed. Brian Ellison has his string in good form and he has a good draw so there are plenty of positives for him today. Solo River proved she sees out this trip last time out when she wasn't beaten far at Lingfield, so she could be worth another chance. Montemayorprincess will find life tough from stall 10, and a safer bet looks to be Bentley who can win again.
