In depth
Verdict
Masterful Act saves his best for this track but is upped in class after his latest course win over 1m3f. Hunting Ground scored easily over 2m at Wolverhampton on his reappearance but won his maiden race here last year and should figure again despite a penalty. Icebuster looks a shade high in the weights on his recent placed efforts and makes his Fibresand debut today, as does PRESBURG. The latter has been running well in tougher races than this on the Polytrack of late and looks to have every chance if taking to the surface.
