Shared Account gets the confident vote here with Rare Society and Windy Spirit rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Cash Back granted that was only a seller but he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and under conditions that suit he need only run up to that mark to score. Rare Society rates the main danger on his best form but he continues to be let down by his jumping so can not be put forward with any confidence. Windy Spirit is another that could go well if allowed to dominate but as that does not looks likely he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder Texas Ranger was a fair pointer and has conditions to suit but he has struggled with regulation fences in the past and with this in mind for the winner we return to Shared Account.
