2/1

Bagged handicap chases at Market Rasen and here last term and better for return when fourth at Lingfield. Ridden too aggressively in this headgear there last week.

Form: 41P-544

Fearless Action^v1¹⁵

16/5

Hails from a yard enjoying its best spell in a while and ran well after 10 months off when second at Carlisle, collared close home having quickened clear between last 2. However, folded tamely at Hexham 2 weeks ago when fancied to go one better so questions to answer now. Change of headgear.

Form: 1552-2P

5/4

Breakthrough success over hurdles came here in January. Decent third here on return and offered something to work on sent chasing at Musselburgh 4 weeks ago.

Forecasts

I'm Too Tired (5/4), Hokelami (2/1), Flash Du Pistolet (5/2), Fearless Action (16/5), Wild Grouse (6/1), Omaha Wish (18/1)

I'M TOO TIRED offered something to work on when third on chase debut at Musselburgh so could be the answer in a weak race. Chase/handicap debutant Wild Grouse may emerge as the biggest threat.
