Craiganboy won a novices' hurdle over the track and trip in November but that was on heavy going and he's been well beaten despite finishing runner-up in his last two starts on the track. Seemingly So won a novices' contest at Market Rasen in November and ran well in a handicap back there earlier this month while Arthurs Secret was in the lead at this trip at Kelso before outstayed over the last 2f by the veteran LANDECKER. The winner was always travelling well and still looks well enough treated to complete a double.
