Seaborn has been cleverly placed by Patrick Chamings to win three times this year. He’s finished second in his other two races so will be hard to keep out of the frame again with both trip and ground ideal. Affluence was just beaten in his hat-trick bid at Windsor but steps up a grade for this off a new career-high mark. BROAD APPEAL has improved since staying on into fourth behind Seaborn at Windsor in June. He is now 2lb better off with his old rival and won nicely at Windsor last month so looks the one to be on.
