Area Access has been well placed to win a couple of races but it looked as though the handicapper had got to him last time at Bangor. Halifax is a frustrating type but this better ground should suit while Sir Kezbaah would have a chance on his best form. He makes more appeal than maidens Westerly Breeze and Ifyouthinkso. Winged Crusader has won at Huntingdon and Warwick this year but MISSION COMPLETE was just beaten at Ffos Las in August off today's mark and has bags of stamina. He has his first run since December but should be straight enough and can defy top weight.
