Fakenham Race 5 - Chestnut Group Norfolk National Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

WICKED THOUGHTS (4) returned in excellent order with a Taunton placing followed by a strong staying chase win over 5680m at the same venue. Rates a major player again. STANS THE MAN (2) has also impressed both starts this campaign gaining a Wincanton success and a solid Plumpton placing. Another bold showing is expected. ENJOY D'ALLEN (7) bounced back with a much better effort when runner-up at Plumpton last time. Worth including. UNANSWERED PRAYERS (6) performed below his best most recently however an earlier Warwick placing showed enough to suggest he could be very competitive against this line up.
