There is a question mark surrounding Boy In A Bentley' attitude but he would have dotted up at Kempton last time, despite a slipping saddle, had he not dumped his rider after blundering at the last. In the circumstances, however, he may be worth taking on with BEWARE THE BEAR, who won in a canter over this trip at Bangor last month and will look to make the most of his proven stamina. Red Infantry wasn't beaten far in a competitive Uttoxeter handicap last time and shouldn't be far away again but Dun Bay Creek has a bit to prove now and Martha's Benefit showed little under Rules last year.
