In depth
Verdict
A very tight looking handicap. Seanie rarely runs over a trip this short but led for most of the way until caught close home by Indian Landing over 7f here last week with the favourite Rummaging close up in mid-division. The latter had beaten Antiquus and Knock Stars here earlier and is much better off at the weights with the runner-up, who has improved markedly since then. UNDER REVIEW looked unlucky when runner-up to Antiquus a fortnight ago and, as he's now 12lb better off with the winner, looks to have as good a chance as any.
