SEATTLE DRIVE's recent form is a bit of a worry but he has won on soft ground and has plenty in hand on these according to official ratings. David Pipe's charge should win if reproducing the form he showed when landing a claimer at Carlisle in August. Sunnybridge Boy is the one most likely to take advantage if the selection slips up as he's twice gone close over course and distance in sellers lately. Dansili Dutch has lost the plot this year but Lincolnrose showed a bit more at Leicester earlier this month and should make the frame again.
