A PINT OF BEAR looks worth another chance in this company. He won over track and trip in October before seemingly failing to see out 6f back here last time though still showed plenty of early pace. Black Sparrow’s earlier outing on this surface inspires little confidence and she’s penalised for winning at Lingfield in August while the remainder debut on the Fibresand. Unashamed finished closer at Wolverhampton recently while Needwood Blossom drops down to the minimum trip having debuted over 7f at Kempton.
