Verdict
Seinesational has won eight times on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles and was nine lengths behind another long-standing maiden, Shandancer, at Worcester last month, though ahead of Red River Valley. A bumper winner at Ayr in the spring, BUMBLE BEE BET has had a couple of runs in big-field maidens in Ireland and should find the opposition here more to his liking. Climbing ran a cracker against the odds-on The Galahad Kid at Stratford in July but weakened quickly at Newton Abbot subsequently.
