The key to this is the going as SEDUCE ME (NAP) had her first taste of soft ground at Newbury a week ago and could hardly have been more impressive, coming home an eight length winner. She's been raised 8lb but comes here with a 6lb penalty and, in the hope the ground doesn't quicken up, should complete a quick double. Fit For The Job won three times when trained in Ireland and ran in decent company. He bounced back in slightly lower grade at Windsor but will need a bit more from 4lb higher. Pumaflor was having his first start for David O'Meara when beaten a head by Mont Royal at Beverley though was receiving 13lb and will need to do better.
