Bear reports for duty in Papin

BEAR Behind is the sole British representative in a field of five for the Prix Robert Papin at Maisons-Laffitte tomorrow.

Fifth in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, Tom Dascombe’s youngster was last seen finishing third in a Listed event at Sandown. William Buick rides.

Chief opposition to the Dascombe raider is likely to come from Family One, conqueror of Boomerang Bob in a Group Three at Chantilly earlier in the month.
