A very trappy contest that could rest between the top weights Siena Star and Say What You See, the latter just edges the decision, with Active Account a possible for a place. Say What You See is improving with every outing and was only just touched off by Karaoke in a similar contest to this earlier this month. There were some decent all-weather performers behind that day and the John Hills trained colt can go one better today. Siena Star takes a step down in distance and class for this contest and rates a big danger to the selection. Paul Cole's charge was fourth behind High Point in a class C handicap in November, that was over a mile and a half, but he produced some of his best efforts last winter over this trip, so looks certain to take a hand in the finish. Active Account rarely runs a bad race and once again ran up to his mark when second behind La Puce at Wolverhampton, if the extra distance isn't a problem he could well make a race of it. Lower down the handicap Bank On Him catches the eye on recent form, but Say What You See should be capable of landing first prize.
