        Verdict

        Bentley doesn't win very often these days but he's been in fine form at Wolverhampton lately and acts on this surface, while Kielty's Folly also turned in one of his better efforts on the Polytrack last time and could figure. Mississippian went close in testing ground at Ayr on his latest start and is worth noting but preference goes to EXOPUNTIA. Julia Feilden's filly showed her liking for this surface with a cosy victory over C&D on only her second start on Fibresand and she looks capable of going in again with the promise of more to come. Custard Cream Kid is just 1lb higher than when scoring over the trip at Kempton a month ago and is fitted with blinkers for the first time following a couple of moderate runs.
