BEAR'S AFFAIR has his first outing in this sphere and this formerly decent handicap chaser might be good enough to get off the mark at the very first time of asking this afternoon. The main danger might prove to be another formerly capable chaser in the shape of Angie Loder's Distime, an excellent fourth at Aintree in the Topham Trophy last spring. Persian Snow comes into the reckoning on his form of a couple of seasons ago but his fitness must be taken on trust, while ex-Irish Daring Article is one to keep an eye on in the betting market. 1.
