COTAI BEAR attempted to make all over 7f at Kempton last month and was beaten only a short-head. Similar tactics could see him go one better over today’s shorter distance and he gets the vote. One Over Par finished closer over track and trip last time when ahead of Thornaby Pearl and Batraan looks a likely improver. Main Target is the 200,000gns first foal of Group 2 winner Jazzi Top and is preferred to Stonegarth of the newcomers.
