Strike Red won one of these contests at Newcastle a fortnight ago and is 5lb higher while Copinet placed over the minimum trip at the same fixture. But MARKS BEAR can race off the same mark as when going close at last week’s Racing League meeting at Doncaster and having won his only previous outing on the Polytrack, Gary Moore’s charge gets the vote. Isabella Swan has a shout on a recent third at Goodwood and is preferred to Letmelivemylife while Talbot drops back down in trip on his debut for a new yard. Hey Mr is worth a second glance returning to 6f for a yard firing-in the winners.
