Race preview
FEARLESS ACTION (second) went close to winning on his first run of the season at Carlisle, when finishing ahead of Treaty Boy (third) and Tommy Combats (fourth), and Chris Grant's gelding appears to have been found an ideal opportunity to gain a second career success. Treaty Boy has since failed to complete at Sedgefield and the likelihood is that the main threat on this occasion may come from Tommy Combats. That outing was his first appearance over fences and the five-year-old potentially has more improvement in him.
