Bear Story showed the benefit of his opening run when chasing home the odds-on Ratib last month and normal progress can see him in the firing-line. The winner's yard is represented by the newcomer Ruling, a 210,000gns half-brother to three winners and out of a German Oaks winner. LINCOLN HAWK has been racing in sprints, staying on in each. He could probably have won a nursery from this mark but connections have opted for this. Prince Of Peace was going on over 7f last time and looks to be progressing nicely while Wadacre Gogo showed potential a month ago and is expected to make progress.
