Verdict
SEEDLING hasn't raced since February but takes a big drop in class from his third to Calipto at Newbury. He'd earlier only been beaten a length by the useful Wilde Blue Yonder at the same track and a repeat of either of those performances would suffice in this. Flashman didn't fare badly on his reappearance at Fontwell and should make the frame but ex-Mark Johnston inmate Bostonian may need this after a lengthy absence and Guilded Spirit rather lost his way on the Flat this year.
