Comment: Dual chase winner on good ground last summer (2m4f/2m5f) and subsequently went close over C&D on heavy ground; pulled up on only start this year (in Edinburgh National in February) but has possibilities here if back on song.

Comment: Won twice over hurdles at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft/soft) in November and ran well in defeat there (2m, soft) on chasing debut the following month; went off a bit too hard when well-held fourth at Perth (2m, good) ten days ago but certainly didn't run badly there; came second (over hurdles on good ground) on only previous visit to Cartmel and returns here on a good mark; hood refitted; good chance.

Fearless Action

Jockey: Danny McMenamin Trainer: Chris Grant Age/Wt: 9/11-7 F: 3155-4 OR: 92

10/1

Comment: Produced good performance to win by 6l at Sedgefield (2m, good) in March but has not been in the same form again since, and he failed to convince stamina-wise on his three previous attempts at about 2m4f.

Jockey: Henry Brooke Trainer: Dianne Sayer Age/Wt: 8/11-1 F: 8PP-6 OR: 86

Comment: Ran well over hurdles here in 2023 but ended last season with some very disappointing hurdle/chase runs and is now 0-13 under rules; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference.
