Seaforth finally got off the mark after 25 attempts when winning at Brighton but is 8lb higher today. LIMERICK LORD is preferred as he scored off a similar mark over track and trip in May and has been thereabouts on Turf subsequently. Thunderbell is unexposed though was well beaten here last year but stablemate Nellie's Dancer has placed on previous visits. Sunstorm is not badly treated if taking to the surface and the same comment applies to Gilmer.
