FEARLESSLY was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fifth at Kempton on last month’s debut. Roger Varian’s filly should make a bold bid with normal progress and is preferred to Al Suil Eile and Capla Crusader. The former finished runner-up over a longer trip at Redcar last week and the latter ran well for fourth at Chelmsford but Akwaan looks a threat with any further improvement after posting a better effort at Yarmouth last time. Myklachi is preferred to newcomer and stablemate Spiritual Boy back over a mile today with Battle Of Wills and Mostawaa others worthy of a second glance in an open contest.
