In depth

Verdict

FOLLOW THE BEAR was placed twice at Bangor at the end of last year and won by eight lengths at Kempton following a short break. He’s impossible to oppose in this, despite a penalty. Chase Me went close several times between the flags but was a well-beaten sixth on his debut under Rules in a Warwick bumper in January. Adnam Sam hasn’t raced since January the previous year.
