Verdict
See And Be Seen beat subsequent Cesarewitch hero Big Easy at Newmarket last September but was earlier almost four lengths behind TEAK at Bath with Our Folly back in third. Ian Williams' versatile eight-year-old is one of three previous course winners in this field and should make a bold bid to defy top weight after a couple of recent pipe-openers. Civil War scored over 1m6f here a year ago and only found one too good over a shorter trip at Windsor last month while there are possibilities about Albahar, who was fifth back on the Flat at Chelmsford having been campaigned over jumps over the winter. Sebastian Beach has also been jumping while the consistent Doncaster winner Samtu and Gavlar, who ran well here at the start of the month, can't be ruled out.
