In depth

Verdict

A couple of errors didn’t aid PREMIUMACCESS’ cause earlier this month at Wincanton but it was still a decent effort and this intermediate distance could prove ideal for the Tizzard gelding. Saint De Reve got his act together at the same track last time and looks a threat while Hes No Trouble took advantage of a lenient mark to score at Wetherby, though has been raised 8lb since. Buster Thomas has had a break since pulled up at Ludlow in December while Dublin Four has placed in three of his four starts over fences, though his one poor run came over a longer trip on this track.
