Verdict

None of these have looked like winning recently but FRED BEAR completed a double, including a victory over today’s trip at Catterick, earlier in the year and is now back on the same mark. A Poet's Secret steps up in trip for his handicap debut while Notability is fitted with a combination of headgear and Royal Athena returns to this code after a spin over hurdles.
