BEWERY MAN runs off the same mark as he did when winning at Sedgefield last week and is taken to win again at the expense of Cave Hill and Festival King. The selection has hit form of late and seems to relish testing conditions. He was a decent second at Bangor on his seasonal reappearance and improved to score last time out. The handicapper has left him alone and with that in mind he only has to recapture his best form to follow up. Cave Hill caught the eye on his return to the track when finishing third at Hexham. He will strip fitter this time around and is shot listed to be in the shake up once again. Festival King is only three pounds worse off for winning at Musselburgh last time out and although he look a tumble on his previous run he has generally been in good spirits this winter so he has to given respect. But for the winner we return to Bewery Man.
