The quick reappearance of BETANCOURT is a tempting proposition and he certainly won't need to be far ahead of the assessor to shrug off a penalty against this calibre of opponent. The section was strongly backed at Sedgefield earlier in the week, so it may be prudent to take a quick check on the betting to guage whether today's extra distance is excepted to be anything of an issue. Chapel Stile is unexposed and also merits consideration if support backs up his claims. Bocasien Desbois represents a yard in from and like Topham Bay, he could easily make the frame in this company.
