Verdict
STEVEN SEAGULL was beaten less than a length at Chelmsford on his reappearance and handicap debut. He can confirm running with Vitani and go one better in this. Duveen debuts on Turf in first-time cheekpieces and may figure while Charlotte Square is preferred to Sister Of Thor handicapping for the first time.
