5/1
Course winner. 6/1 and visored for 1st time, went keenly when a solid fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. That form has been franked so a bold showing is on the cards eased 1 lb.

Forecasts

Alfred Spero (11/10), Silkies Sib (5/2), Night Bear (5/1), Mrs Meader (14/1), Bond Spirit (18/1), Broadstone (20/1), Ring Fenced (20/1), Abu Royal (25/1), Very Classy (25/1), Wadacre Moriarty (66/1), Stoneacre (80/1), Easter Sundae (80/1)

Verdict

NIGHT BEAR rates just the pick of the weights with the form of his recent C&D fourth having been well advertised so gets the vote from in-form maiden Alfred Spero. Silkies Sib, Broadstone and Mrs Meader all need factoring into this open handicap too.

  1. Night Bear5/1
  2. Alfred Spero11/10
  3. Silkies Sib5/2
