Verdict
Bearish supplemented a breakthrough victory at Thirsk with a good second at Hamilton in May and he must enter calculations on this handicap bow. However, LEADENHALL is slightly more appealing after his runner-up effort at Carlisle and looks capable of overcoming a 4lb higher mark. Last year's victor Theoryofeverything continues to creep down the ratings and he adds further spice to the mix, along with Dwindling Funds.
