Verdict
Bentley's best form at Southwell would give him a chance but he's yet to win in 25 starts on the turf, while both of Empress Leizu's wins also came on the all-weather. Graycliffe improved for his first start on the Fibresand last week and Hathaway has claims if staying the extra distance, but the vote goes to PRINCE RHYDDARCH. Michael Dods' gelding hasn't scored for some time but has been in better form of late and will handle any cut in the ground.
