Follow The Bear³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 134

11/8

Gamely followed up his Aintree win when scoring at Ffos Las last month over three miles. Still relatively lightly raced to suggest there is more to come and one very much for the shortlist.

Form: 4/7F3-11

Jacks Last Hope^v²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: C Grant| OR: 129

5/1

Has been running with credit in defeat over hurdles and fences; holds Follow The Bear on their run at Aintree in May; slightly below par last time out but certainly capable of winning this off his current mark.

Form: 2433-55

Angel of Harlem^p,t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 126| CD

15/8

Very consistent handicapper who showed his well being when scoring over this course and distance last time out. Has now won three times at this track and looks the one to beat.

Form: 11274-1

Timeforben^b,t⁶⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 124| DWS

4/1

Has something to find with a couple of these based on their run at Aintree in April. Not without a chance on the best of his form but may need to be given some more relief from the handicapper to get his head back in front.

Form: 21208-6

Forecasts

Follow The Bear (11/8), Angel of Harlem (15/8), Present Ranger (2/1), Timeforben (4/1), Jacks Last Hope (5/1), Morraman (6/1)

The mare ANGEL OF HARLEM loves it around Market Rasen and there is no reason why she can't follow up her success here back in May though she will not want any of the expected showers to soften up the ground too much. Ready to take advantage would be Follow The Bear and Jacks Last Hope who are closely matched on their run at Aintree in April. Present Ranger is another with a chance on the best of his form while the consistency of Timeforben may see her run into a place if others fail to run their race.
