Formscan  - GERARD MENTOR was almost able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when beaten a neck into second over hurdles at Stratford and with a few of his rivals having questions to answer, he could gain compensation. Market support for chasing debutants Bossofthebus and Danny's Friend would be noteworthy and, although in better form when landing this 12 months ago, Famoso should not be written off.
