Brown Bear only had two to beat when scoring here last month and let his supporters down badly on much faster ground at Towcester. Yukon Delta isn't the most consistent and Mount Vesuvius is 7lb higher than his Exeter victory. Cor Wot An Apple was heavily supported at Plumpton last month finished a long way back in second, his 17th successive defeat under Rules, so a process of elimination leads us to COUGAR KID (NAP). A winner under Brodie Hampson at Catterick in February, he made a bold bid to make all over this course and distance last month and was only headed in the closing stages.
