Verdict
Callum Whillans' claim eases Seedless' burden a little and she'll probably run her race again. The seven-year-old is much more exposed than LUCKY MIX, however, and the latter is taken to double her tally over hurdles despite returning from a lengthy absence as her form in the spring was progressive. Bach Street Girl has only managed one place in 10 previous runs over timber while Emma Soda finished tailed off in a Wetherby bumper in her only start so far under Rules.
