Verdict

Course regular Brown Bear has been in good enough form over hurdles/fences lately (twice second here) and is on a workable mark reverting to these obstacles but it's a long time since he put his head in front and he might be vulnerable in a wide open event. The front-running Goldslinger has definite potential to win races and shouldn't be underestimated by his rider taking valuable weight off but there was promise in the chasing debut of CATCH MY DRIFT at Southwell in July and this drop in trip should give him solid claims.
