PEACE SEEKER made all on both occasions when completing a double over 6f at Kempton earlier this month. Today's drop in trip won't be a problem on that evidence and neither will a 6lb penalty as he ran out a three length winner last time. Excellent Aim found life tougher in handicap company at Kempton last month, but won his maiden over C&D before that, while Bookiesindex Boy had Crimson Queen behind when third at the same track and could figure again along with Vitznau, who showed a bit more on his latest outing.
