In depth

Verdict

SEASIDE GIRL carries joint topweight with Kevin Brogan's claim factored in, and Ben Pauling's mare may be up to landing a second success from six chase starts. Her latest runner-up effort at Huntingdon behind Wye Aye is the best recent form on show and she was not disgraced by any means on her penultimate start over course and distance. Ex-pointer, Lure Des Pres, shaped nicely on his first start of the season and is noted along with Auld Sod and Mogestic. The most intriguing runner here is The Boat. Beaten a long way on all four hurdling starts, he's in good hands, tackles fences for the first time and steps up dramatically in trip. Watch him in the market.
