Plenty with claims in this. Canterbury Bell placed at Lingfield on her all-weather debut while Udaberri finished runner-up over a longer trip here last time. Mr Big Stuff and Restorer are others with a shout on recent placed efforts while Masque Of Anarchy ran well at Newmarket attempting to land a four-timer. But NIGHT BEAR has improved for the application of cheekpieces and bids for a hat-trick after making all at Newmarket and this venue last time. Only 2lb higher today, he can go in again.
