      Verdict

      Seedless made a winning start to her chase career over 2m6f at Cartmel and she'll probably try and make all here. But Donald McCain's mare has to give 16lb to NOSECOND CHANCE, which may prove beyond her. The latter is now a pound lower than when winning at Hereford in November last year and hinted at a revival at Uttoxeter last time. With Jake Greenall taking off 5lb, he must go close. Lucky Sunny is 5lb higher than when successful at Perth but isn't as exposed over fences as Fred Bojangals or Musselburgh specialist Red Kingdom.
