The Bear knows only one way to run and he again blasted from the gate. Even when pressed by the winner he fought on, but he might be hard to place off his current mark.
Yorkshire Blue did best of those coming off the pace. Last at one stage, he stuck on well and is showing signs of coming to form.
Rainbow Fox hit his usual flat spot before plugging on and brilliantly weighted at present.
Coleorton Dancer contiunes to disappoint, although this wasn't one of his worst efforts and he's on a really tempting mark.
