ATLANTIC COAST may be able to make the most of the weight that he receives from Crashtown Hall whilst Aspiring Actor could also make the frame. Atlantic Coast may benefit from having his first run over hurdles on faster ground whilst there was sufficient promise to be gleaned from his two runs under more testing conditions to believe that he can win races in this sphere. Crashtown Hall has disappointed the last twice but he did break a blood vessel on his penultimate start and has claims on his earlier form if over those problems. Aspiring Actor was entitled to need his first run since 2005 and would be of interest in this company on his old form but it requires a leap of faith to support him unless the market speaks in his favour. The remainder look up against it on all known form and this should be a good opportunity for Atlantic Coast as long as the rain stays away.
