Race preview
Big Bear Hug appeared to be slightly unlucky in third here at the start of the month, when attempting to follow up her course victory over 1m2f the time before. She got the better of AMANCIO (second) on that occasion, but the drop back in trip should play to the latter's strengths and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Jack Channon's charge reversed the form. Others to consider include Atlantis Blue and Unreal Connection.
