Seamster defied his age to gain the 18th victory of his career here last time though he isn't quite as effective on fast ground. Someone Exciting won here last month, when Spirit Of Zebedee was around 3l behind, but is another who prefers some give. Quduraat finished runner-up in a poor handicap at Yarmouth while GROUPIE (NAP) is on a long losing run but the latter has been racing in slightly better company and has dropped to her lowest ever mark so gets the vote. Vallarta has won around here but is another who likes softer conditions.
