A Bear Affair
Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) in March and beaten only 1l when third of three to Adaay Of Scarlett at Ascot four weeks ago (5f, good to firm; same terms today); something to find with the winner but might not be far away.

From the connections
“A Bear Affair has always been a very likeable horse with a very good attitude and he could be every bit as good as some of the horses we've brought here. If you win this race there aren't many places to go after until you get to the Woodcote. You don't talk about Ascot horses at this time of year but he's ideal with an attitude to suit that sort of programme. There will be a lot more to come physically, he's not really there in his coat. Mentally, I want him to stay exactly how he is. He will improve a lot for this - Richard Hannon, trainer.”
