Bear festival target undecided

Connections of Straw Bear are likely to leave it late before making a decision on which race the horse will tackle at Cheltenham.

The five-year-old, owned by JP McManus, has won both his races over hurdles and is entered for the Anglo Irish Bank Supreme Novices’ Hurdle over an extended two miles and the Royal & SunAlliance Novices’ Hurdle over two miles and five furlongs at the Festival.
