Verdict
Long Call won at Bangor in July but couldn’t cope with a 12lb rise on a return visit. SEABOROUGH’s record of 1-32 over hurdles is off-putting but he is fairly consistent and ran well off a much higher mark on his only previous visit here. Lucky Lover Boy got the better of a subsequent winner at Sedgefield 10 days ago and Sergeant has been threatening to get his head back in front. Ten Ten Twenty did just that in a Worcester maiden on Wednesday but carries a penalty and this may come around soon enough.
