In depth
Verdict
Active Account looks the one to be with. Heather Dalton's six-year-old wasn't suited to the lack of pace on his latest outing and I understand if there is no pace on here, he will make his own running. The winner of an Amateur riders event over course and distance, Crunchy has more to do in this company off a 12lbs higher mark, but the lightly weighted Antony Ebeneezer could be a different kettle of fish, especially with a useful claimer taking a further 5lbs off his back. Sharp Spice is one to keep an eye on, but she has yet to tackle this surface and also needs a strong pace to bring out the best in her. Spanish Star and Queen G are others worthy of consideration.
