FEAR NOTHING can come out on top here at the main expense of Trinder and Final Ovation. Ed McMahon's colt has only had the two runs but he wasn't beaten far at Haydock last time and he showed enough that day to suggest that his turn would not be far away. The draw is not ideal but he looks to be on an upward curve. Most of the fancied runners are drawn high and Trindar falls into that category. Richard Fahey's colt appeared to be a smart prospect on his debut at Hamilton but he has since looked regressive and on that basis we will give him the swerve. Final Ovation has had plenty of chances and although he went close last time out, the draw counts against him today. Commanche Raider shaped with promise on his debut at Musselburgh and if he can build on that then he could enter calculations. However, Fear Nothing sets a decent standard and he gets the vote.
