Last time out winner over further at Kempton, and steps back in trip now off 11lb higher. That will make things much more difficult for him, though he has a top jockey up for the first time and goes for a very well-respected trainer.
Off since January 2016 and has put in only moderate efforts on three racecourse starts so far. More needed here in addition to the fact that he's more than entitled to need the run.
Multiple point to point placer whose only start under rules resulted in a 25L beating in a minor affair at Warwick in January. Needless to say, a huge step forward would be required on his hurdling debut.
Forecasts
Follow The Bear (1/14), Adman Sam (12/1), Chase Me (16/1)
This should go to FOLLOW THE BEAR, who should be winning with the minimum of fuss. He won over further at Kempton last time out and should easily be able to defy the rise in the weights, as large as it is. Adman Sam is clearly the next best option, ahead of Chase Me, who has it all to do even in this small field.
- Follow The Bear
- Adman Sam
- Chase Me
