Verdict
The Seemar yard has four entries with Tadhg O'Shea choosing Discovery Island, who he has ridden to victory over 6f and this trip in recent weeks. He's probably capable of better though stablemate Law Of Peace came from a long way off the pace to finish third to him last month. SCABBARD (NAP), a winner at Churchill Downs, came here for the first time last month and landed a minor handicap in impressive fashion, taking up the lead in the straight and bursting clear. He's been raised 5lb but should have come on for the run and gets the nod. Motawaajed, three-times a winner for William Haggas last summer, never showed on last week's debut here but will be a different proposition this time.
