Having made a perfect stable debut at Goodwood last month, BIG BEAR HUG could be open to more improvement. A 2lb rise in the ratings for the six-year-old shouldn't forestall another bold bid and she edges the verdict over Golden Circet. The Jim & Suzi Best-trained gelding arrives on the back of a respectable third over 1m2f at Windsor and he looks ready for this extra distance. The unexposed Sudu is also of interest. |
BIG BEAR HUG arrives in top form after narrowly landing a Goodwood handicap off 80 and looks progressive. She handles all types of ground, though with a preference for some give, and remains on a handy mark for his in-form trainer. Sudu endured a poor trip at Newbury but still ran with credit and appears well treated at present. Golden Circet is a consistent performer who ran to form before a short break and is capable of going close again. Navid continues to perform to his current level and is effective at this trip. Vaynor is down in trip and ratings, and though not the force of old, he could show more off his current mark. |

Ran to form when landing a handicap by a short-head off a mark of 80 at Goodwood last time. Trainer in form. Effective from 10-12f, acts on any ground though especially enjoys give. Progressive of late. |
