The only chasers in middle Earth are the Nine, and the three Hunters, but you already denied the guess connected to latter, so it must be the former. Which furthers my supposition that it must be related to Frodo in some way.

Am I on right track here?

No. Remember, the line is "lest they chase you". The subject is merely in danger of being pursued.

Maybe Galadriel/Haldir?

They advised the Fellowship to traverse Anduin - the greatest running water in Third Age - in hopes of outrunning Saruman's Orcs.

No. Just to make this clear, no-one in the Fellowship is involved.

But- I just realised that G55 had guessed part of it, but not as her "official" question. Sorry- I missed that before. G55, revisit your failures and look more closely!

. (or Urwen can do it, since she's around.)

Boromir is in the Fellowship, and Nienor is not from the third age. That leaves the barrels.

.....Thranduil?

Well, that's the guess I meant... but the speaker isn't Thranduil. You need to think a bit laterally here...
