Bentley looks set to record his second win of the week here with Candyland and Ellablue the pair likely to give him the most to do. Derek Shaw's charge scored impressively at Southwell on Tuesday and with the yard in form he may be up to going in again despite his penalty and wide draw. Candyland will be the one to take advantage if our selection disappoints as Mick Quinn's charge has a good draw and he finished a respectable fourth behind Grange Lili here last time. Ellablue is lightly-raced and she has shown some promise, but she has given the impression that she will be suited by a slightly longer trip and for that reason she is opposed. Pat Will is from a stable that does well here and he could go well at a price, but Bentely is in good form and can score again.
