Formscan - BOBBY BENNU won novice events at Chester and Thirsk before failing to land a serious blow on his handicap bow at Newmarket, but that was a decent contest and the runner-up has won well since. He could be worth another chance off the same mark now eased in class and his trainer, Roger Varian, won the race last year. It was no surprise that Son Of Man found the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot too hot and his second in a similar event off a 2lb lower at Goodwood the time before puts him right in the picture today. Summer Of Love was only touched off late on when third over this trip at Doncaster latest and a 1lb rise for that effort doesn't rule her out, while Piz Nair has been threatening to score.
