PARTY BEAR (9) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing second at this track before a ten weeks break. Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Can make a winning return. BETA READER (8) turned in a fine effort to score by a head at this track and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again. KAMEKIST (1) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. KATHLEEN'S GLORY (6) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Chelmsford. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
