FormscanBy Michael Graham - A return to Ireland and a drop in class can see MOUNTAIN BEAR regain a winning thread. He delivered in a maiden over course and distance before contesting a couple of Group 2 contests at Newmarket and Goodwood in Britain. He was unplaced in the former, but took third over further in Goodwood. He remains of significant interest with a glut of Group-race entries. Letsbefrankaboutit was a warm order to make a winning debut over course and distance this month, but finished third. He should come on for the run and has a host of big-race entries. Trainer Paddy Twomey knows what is required for this race having won it last year. Mansa Musa won a valuable maiden in Goodwood and could outrun his odds particularly if the rain arrives.
