It is hard to make a solid case for any in this with Brown Bear undoubtedly flattered by his success last time and looking a difficult ride for a conditional. Mr Jim scored last time in an unsatisfactory race where the market principals both came to grief. HIGH ASPIRATIONS came to hand last spring and appeared on his way back to his best at Newton Abbot last time. A further drop in the weights makes him all the more attractive and he can make the most of what appears to be his easiest opportunity for a while. Ballyegan has a good record here and the handicapper has given him an excellent chance of making the frame at least.
