Verdict

Seismic only found one too good again off his new mark at Tramore and should be thereabouts in this. Ned's Indian has obvious claims as he had Farranderry, Emma Pavlova and Alubari behind when winning easily at Gowran while Viva Diva will be aiming to recoup losses after starting favourite over a longer trip at Ayr last time. HORSEWITHNONAME just held on under Connor King at Cork at the start of the month to record a first victory in 35 career starts and is 5lb higher here. But he has run well of similar marks in the past and may be worth sticking with.
