More miss than hit in 2025, fading into seventh at Thirsk (7f, soft) last Monday. Potentially well treated but need to see more.

Made it 2 wins in last 3 starts when getting on top near the finish in 7f Brighton handicap (good) 21 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Respected in his current mood.

10/1
Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap (28/1) back at Yarmouth (7f, good) 29 days ago, left with too much to do. The stable is no stranger to success in this. Could play a part.

Former course winner but has barely beaten a rival in a handful of starts this year. First-time blinkers will need to make a big difference.

Forecasts

Candle Of Time (3/1), Homer Stokes (7/2), She's A Goldigger (6/1), Amathus (15/2), Bear To Dream (8/1), Heer's Sadie (10/1), Lockdown Lass (10/1), Love You More (12/1), Wrydcroft (18/1), Tilsworth Turf (40/1)

Verdict

BEAR TO DREAM has enjoyed a good spell since the start of the summer and might be good for another win. Amathus is another who arrives in form and is second choice. Heer's Sadie was better than the result last time and could also have a say for a yard which has won this twice in recent years.
