Verdict
Seamster won at Lingfield before going close again back at the same track when ahead of Robero and is upped a further 3lb. Welease Bwian won over 5f here last month and drops back down in class while Light From Mars dead-heated for first over 7f at Kempton before failing to figure in a higher grade last time. Jacob's Pillow only won a selling race at Southwell earlier but ELEUTHERA landed a maiden at the same track last time. The least exposed of these, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the vote with further progress likely.
