Or De Vassy was favourite again at Uttoxeter on his reappearance but could only manage third and is in danger of becoming disappointing. BOY IN A BENTLEY has to give weight to his rivals but he has a 7lb claimer on board to help his cause and is arriving full of confidence after back-to-back victories. It's Your Move represents last year’s winning stable and is sure to have learned plenty from his third at Hexham when ahead of Bafana Blue. Helmsley Lad will appreciate any give in the ground but hasn’t really threatened so far over timber. Nicely Indeed has been quite highly tried, however, and could go close.
