In depth

Verdict

Seebright already looks as though he needs 3m judged on his one-paced second over 2m2f at Fontwell, though this stiff track should play to his strengths. Lower Hope Dandy hinted at ability when fourth at Chepstow and Oyster Shell filled the same spot on his debut under Rules at Huntingdon. There should be more to come from the well-bred Follow The Facts, who stared favourite here last month, and Mrbob Escott and Spider Palm are other to consider but newcomers Magic Moon and JACK THE CRACKER are just as interesting with the latter, who is a half-brother to a hurdles winner and related to several winners on the Flat, getting the vote.
