Verdict
THEYSEEKHIMTHERE created a 125/1 shock over this trip on testing ground at Lingfield where he got up in the dying strides. His penalty is wiped out by his rider's claim and there's no reason why he shouldn't produce another big run. Hurricane Danny hadn't shown much before a much better effort here last month and won't need much more to get involved while Range made a bold bid against an odds-on chance at Exeter and should reach the frame. Vision De Maine, an easy Irish point-to-point winner, was outpaced and beaten a long way into second in a bumper at Sedgefield but this is more likely to be his game.
