Verdict
COME ON BEAR won a couple of low-grade handicaps last month and looks to have every chance on his first start for a new yard. He beat Drop Kick Murphi over track and trip on one of those occasions and can confirm running on better terms. William Ashford, The British Lion, Rosarno and Jack Louie all finished further behind the selection but Spanish Mane has a shout at this lowly level dropping down in class and Shyjack may improve fitted with a hood for this.
