        Verdict

        Long Call can’t get much lower in the weights but the veteran doesn’t win often nowadays and Seaborough lacks a recent run, though did score over hurdles last year. Trusty Scout found only one too good over this trip at Kempton last month but we’ll give another chance to Wolverhampton flop ALL ABOUT ALICE as her yard is in great form and the mare has won over similar distances on the all-weather. Afternoon Tea looks best of the rest.
