Brown Bear gained his first victory here but was engaged yesterday at Towcester. Gary Moore runs three with Golanova looking the pick on jockey bookings. Venetian Lad has been a course specialist in the past but was pulled up in this last year and again at the track on his latest start while Harry Hunt looked a shadow of his former self last season. DAWNIERIVER was in good form prior to finding Class 2 company too hot last time at Haydock. That run was still too bad to be true and Michael Scudamore’s mare could make amends here if back on her game.
