In depth
Verdict
Access Overseas might prove the answer in a weak affair, with Magical Day, I Tina and Learn The Lingo others to consider. Access Overseas gained his sole victory at Newton Abbot well over two years ago, but has shown enough of late to suggest that another visit to the winner's enclosure is imminent. The six-year-old ran out of his skin in a non selling handicap over two miles at Towcester last time, and unless that was a flash in the pan, he looks destined to improve on that effort here. Lady Ward and Knightsbridge King were both pulled up on their latest outings, but had fair form previously, while Learn The Lingo comes form a very much in-form yard. I Tina has been disappointing over jumps but is another with claims on her third at Towcester three weeks ago. In truth this is not the best of betting contests, and only a small vote goes to Acess Overseas.
