Formscan  - Bentbasa posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Newcastle last month and he must enter calculations. However, an opening mark of 74 will require more from Charlie Fellowes' colt and preference is for TESTIMONIAL. The son of Time Test arrives on the back of a runner-up effort on his nursery bow at Thirsk and he may find enough improvement to cope with a 4lb higher rating. Larchill Lass could also have a say if seeing out the rise in distance.
