Verdict
Le Seychellois is better than he showed at Bangor at the beginning of the month and may do better back on a faster surface today but he is hard to back with confidence and preference is for Imps Way, who gets the vote with Jupiter's Fancy rated the pick of the remainder. The selection lost no caste in defeat behind Itzacliche at Market Rasen on Sunday over an extended 2m6f and she should appreciate the drop back in trip. Lascar de Ferbet ran well when finding just one too good at Sedgefield last month and he has to be respected but needs to improve again to trouble the selection. Del Trotter has run creditably in point-to-points but faces no easy task on his return to regulation fences. Jupiter's Fancy ran well in defeat at Aintree earlier this month and has solid claims on that evidence but preference is for Imps Way.
