Creditable second of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 3/1) 4 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs considering.
Timeform Verdict 
Linda Perratt's BERNIE THE BEAR is on a long losing run but holds the edge on the form of his good Southwell second last week so looks the way to go. Mumcat hinted at a revival when fourth at Wolverhampton only four days ago and heads the dangers, with in-form duo You Are Everything and Jesse Luc also in the mix.
Betting Forecast
10/1 Bobby On The Beat (Ire), 5/1 You Are Everything (Fr), 5/1 Mumcat, 5/2 Bernie The Bear (Ire), 12/1 Crocus Time (Ire), 16/1 Batal Dandy (Ire), 6/1 Jesse Luc
