9/4
Four-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D 11 days ago, cosily. Expected to be bang there.

20/1
Latest win at Catterick in October. Ninth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at this course (16.2f). Off 127 days and back down in trip. Will probably find one or two too good.

3/1
Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap there (12.2f) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

11/1, 1½ lengths third of 5 to Bobby Shaftoe in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. 4 lb better off with that rival now and he's a strong contender.

18¾ lengths last of 10 to Bobby Shaftoe in handicap (28/1) at this course (10.2f) 32 days ago. Back up in trip and he clearly has work to do.

Forecasts

Geelong (7/4), Bobby Shaftoe (9/4), Eloped (3/1), Night Bear (7/1), Ebony Maw (20/1), A Shining Moon (50/1)

Verdict

NIGHT BEAR returned to form when third to Bobby Shaftoe over this C&D recently and, now 4 lb better off with that rival for a 1½-length beating, he is taken to emerge on top this time. Bobby Shaftoe won't go down without a fight and he is clear second choice ahead of Geelong.
