Verdict
Activity is the obvious improver here, and the David Loder-trained four-year-old is taken to continue to reward the faith shown in him by his connections. Alsafi and Beluga Bay are others to note in the betting, whilst Point Of Dispute and Fantasy Believer are others who can be given chances on the pick of their form. However, Activity, who easily shrugged aside a modest field after long absence when scoring at Yarmouth on his reappearance last month, has been kept fit at home by being used as a lead horse for Dubai Destination and Alamshar. He need only live up to his gallops reputation to hold his rivals at bay tonight.
