Verdict

BEAR CLAWS shaped with plenty of encouragement upon joining this yard towards the back-end of 2023 and, though disappointing here when last seen in January, he will have every chance off this reduced mark if back to his best following a break. Further Measure has been given a chance by the handicapper and is next on the list ahead of Twoforthegutter, who shaped as though this stiffer test would suit when a running-on third over 12.2f here last time. Midnight Shimmer is worth a second look, too.
