[V1]
Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 15/8 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, only fair third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time now and still needs considering.

Night Bear (G)
[V]
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.
