Race preview
BEAR GHYLLS shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when 16th in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival in March. He was quickly given a wind procedure after that performance and could be worth chancing on his reappearance off a 4lb lower mark. Benassi found only a subsequent winner too strong at Lingfield last month and he's likely to give another good account of himself, while Sizing Pottsie is noted too.
