Take A Stand - 14:45 Chelmsford

Flags: Horse In Focus, Sectional, Timeform Top Rated, Hot Trainer

Take A Stand caught the eye when fourth on his handicap debut at Lingfield last month, passing the post less than three lengths behind the winner and looking unlucky not to finish closer still after being caught further back than ideal in a steadily-run race. He recorded a notably fast closing sectional and the way he shaped there suggests he is almost certainly a well-handicapped colt from a BHA mark of 70. With the James Tate yard also in good nick (75% of horses running to form), Take A Stand is fancied to confirm the promise of last time to get off the mark.
