Not a handicap to get heavily involved in but Action Impact catches the eye as a c&d scorer who has been dropped 9lb by the assessor and he gets the vote, with Tabulate and Kings Topic among others with a squeak. Gary Moore has done well enough with Action Impact since taking charge and the four-year-old was a c&d scorer two starts ago, before being well held here on turf last time. Back on the polytrack and with that 9lb drop he is a tentative choice. Tabulate was a very comfortable scorer over c&d himself last time out, though that was in selling company. The handicapper did not miss that however, and a 15lb rise will make this much tougher but it's not a hot race and he could still show up well. Kings Topic was runner up at Great Leighs last time out and is another with c&d wins on his CV and he can go well though may find a couple too good again. Further down the list Ramprakash does not look badly handicapped here and if the gelding can put a poor run last time behind him then could also go close. Ceili Mor is very interesting now stepped up to this trip and he could emerge the leading light among the remainder but for today we will take Action Impact to score.
