Fred Bear is an obvious starting point bidding for a hat-trick after victories at Salisbury and Catterick with Tommie Jakes’ claim for than compensating for a further 2lb rise but he’s not the only one arriving in form. The maiden ROSE CAMIRA might enjoy this step up in trip as she was keeping on when only beaten a length off this mark at Yarmouth. Shadowfax is also still seeking a first win but stays further and Longuerue has only been raised a pound for a victory over 1m2f here a month ago.
