In depth
Verdict
ACTION HERO has placed in all three outings so far including over track and trip last time. He should have the measure of these and has the beating of Legal Reform on these terms. Tellmeyourstory may prove the biggest threat if taking to the Fibresand on the back of a promising second at Lingfield and Gotta Feeling may improve for the longer trip having finished third over 6f here on her debut. The remainder are harder to fancy though the newcomer Nymph Spirit’s dam placed on this surface.
