Verdict
The unpredictable Multitask is due one of his better efforts but Seek The Fair Land has done all his winning so far this year in plating company. Dissent caught his rivals napping here last time and made all to win by 10 lengths. But he's been raised 15lb for his trouble and the likes of Top Cop, Rigolleto and Smart Salute are preferred having all been beaten less than a length on their latest starts. BROTHER TIGER faded badly in the closing stages of his reappearance at Haydock. But he scored over track and trip in November and with more scope for improvement than most of these, he gets a tentative vote.
