Ran right up to best when resuming winning ways in 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 2/1) 3 days ago, well on top finish. Carries 4 lb penalty for that success but looks a likely player.
C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. 17/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.
C&D winner. Last of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 50/1). Off 175 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 15/2, respectable 1¾ lengths third of 6 to Counsel in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 3 days ago. Can make presence felt.
4-time course winner. Four wins from 20 runs last year. Bit below form 2¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Rosenpur in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, nearest finish. Others more persuasive.
BEAR ROCK is low mileage for her age and arrives on the back of a career-best effort here last month. She is the pick in an open-looking contest. Recent winners Counsel and Rosenpur look the likeliest dangers.
