In depth
Verdict
This won’t take much winning and CHASE ME, who has been lightly-raced, has hinted at ability. He can get off the mark on his first run for a new stable. Faction is 6lb lower than when second here just under a year ago so also has claims as he will have needed a recent outing at Wincanton. Waitinonasunnyday finished second at Towcester last month but that was on soft ground. Western Breeze is best watched following a lengthy absence
