Verdict
Another Run went close over 1m4f in a handicap at Doncaster and Midnight Lion also returns to this level having failed to figure in a Class 3 handicap on Town Moor. There’s little between that pair at the weights while Seahouses may well improve for this extra distance but the same comment applies to ART DE VIVRE. The latter made only a modest debut over 1m4f at Newbury but her sister has won over 2m and a chance is taken on Charlie Fellowes’ filly lasting home.
