FIRST POST bids to land a hat-trick of victories in this and has every chance of doing so. He remains on a lower mark than last year despite winning at Sandown last time and handles any ground. Ogbourne Downs continues to improve and won again at Kempton recently while Good Luck Charm scored over 7f here on his latest start. Seldom Seen had no excuses for a modest handicap debut on the Polytrack but has more scope than Kempton third Whipper Snapper. Weekendatbernies remains 10lb higher than his win at Epsom in July but still went very close at Nottingham last time.
