Seamster never threatened the winner when runner-up at Bath a couple of days ago and is was fast ground when Compton Poppy finished second over track and trip last time. Chatoyer went close in a maiden recently but Minty Jones is 5lb higher than when placed at Hamilton last month. KINGLAMI landed a double in soft going in June and beat Spirit Of Rosanna over 6f here on one of those occasions. He’s been beaten in amateur races since then but should go close back on testing ground today.
