Liberatio has never won in ten starts, all over further, while Reddot Express scored over 7f here last month and has never won over this trip. Sheisdiesel, beaten a neck in that latter event, is 2lb better off so has a fair chance of reversing the form but this looks another for the veteran SEANIE, who led for a long way in that race before fading in the closing stages. Back over a more suitable trip, Michael Halford's charge looks the one to be on here. Zeeyalater has never won on the all-weather and has plenty to find on official figures. Mr Shelby was engaged to run here last night.
