Jack Bear was well beaten when favourite in a lower grade at Kempton last month so has a bit to prove now but winning hurdler Goldan Jess could be interesting while Lacey had Cavalieri back in third when scoring over course and distance last time, though there shouldn't be much between the pair on today's revised terms..RUM SWIZZLE was only beaten a short head over 1m4f here in September and went on to score over a similar trip at Windsor. She has gone up in the weights again and tries a new distance but there is enough stamina in her pedigree to think she could last home and she may be the one to beat. Four Nations has a very decent record here and is now on a lower mark than when successful over 1m6f in May so is well worth a market check.
