5/2
Likeable colt who doubled his tally with a gutsy success in the Mill Reef at Newbury 7 months ago. Now has to shoulder a penalty for that, but he could do better still.

10/3
Landed a C&D novice on his second outing last season and travelled smoothly for a long way when last of 5 in the Acomb at York 8 months ago. Can do better this year and return to 6f should suit.

Smart colt who progressed again when a commanding winner of Group 2 Railway Stakes last June. Held form well subsequently, runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint when last seen. Sets the standard and looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Go Bears Go (5/4), Wings Of War (5/2), Ehraz (10/3), Hierarchy (17/2), Space Cowboy (14/1)

Verdict

GO BEARS GO is the clear form pick and he should be tuned up for this return, so he gets the nod ahead of Hierarchy, who wasn't far behind him at the Breeders' Cup. Ehraz is still unexposed and promises to benefit from a return to 6f, so he's another one to consider in a fascinating Group 3.
