Verdict
Peace Seeker made a winning reappearance in a seller at Lingfield but will find this much tougher. ACOLYTE was taking on stronger opposition than this when fifth at Ascot last time and had landed a double on the all-weather before that. He is preferred to Mr Bossy Boots, who is also at home in this grade but drops back distance. Desert Strike beat Red Stripes by a nose at Chelmsford last month and the latter has since dead-heated for first at the same track. Both have claims while Ishiamber won a conditions race at Newmarket in June and has a chance on that form.
