SEEBRIGHT is taken to continue his good progress after following up a bumper win with a victory at Wetherby on his hurdling debut. Victor Dartnall's charge has a penalty to defy, of course, which is something that has already proved beyond course winner Uncle Jimmy. Letmego has gone close in a couple of bumpers at this track and has his first start over timber but point-to-point winners Firey King and Beforeall have so far disappointed over hurdles. Ruby Kew makes a belated comeback and is worth noting for any support in the betting.
