Blue Bear

10st 8lb

J: Oscar Palmer

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Ran well for a long way and seemed to have arrested his decline when fourth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but was soundly beaten over that C&D 11 days ago and now has questions to answer again; drops back in trip with hood removed after one use.

J: Oscar Palmer

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Chase winner in early 2024; generally disappointing since returning from long absence this year but ran well for a long way before weakening into fourth in C&D (good) contest won by De Deli Counter last month and has possibilities if first-time hood helps him to settle better in early stages today.

10st 9lb

J: Oscar Palmer

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Won over fences in 2024 (2m1f, soft) but soundly beaten in a hurdle race and two chases since returning from long absence in February; very unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to turn a corner.

J: Peter Kavanagh

Now 6lb lower than when winning by 6l over C&D (soft) in February 2024 but returned from long absence with two heavy defeats at Catterick last month (hurdle/chase) and needs to prove his old ability remains.

11st 2lb

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith

Tailed off over hurdles here a fortnight ago following a long absence and has to prove how much ability he retains; however, he may have needed that run and he's 3lb lower than when winning over fences in February 2024; he's one to watch in the betting now back chasing.
