In depth
Verdict
Soul Seeker bids for a hat-trick of victories over the minimum trip carrying 5lb extra. He beat Ventura Flame at Pontefract last month and Keith Dalgleish’s charge had earlier won over track and trip with Debawtry and Van Gerwen behind. But the latter found EAST STREET REVUE too good in soft going over course and distance last summer and given Tim Easterby’s charge also won this in 2019 and is back on a winning mark, he gets the vote. Lady Celia may prove best of the rest.
