In depth
Verdict
BERNIE THE BEAR won a classified race at Wolverhampton last month and should go well again. Rum Runner also scored in classified company at Catterick earlier but finished well behind Tees George at Newcastle subsequently. See My Baby Jive’s earlier hat-trick came over 6f at Ayr while Malinheadsearovers finished closer here last time without threatening the winner.
