      Verdict

      Dual Southwell winner SEEMENOMORE has no problem handling the Polytrack and went very close over C&D a fortnight ago. Blinkers replace a visor today and, with a 7lb claimer further helping his cause, Michael Bell's charge rates the selection. Lucky Di won over 7f last month but never figured on her handicap bow while Blazing Knight has lost his form since landing a double at Wolverhampton last autumn. Al Gharrafa needs another step forward on her handicap debut while Girl At The Sands hasn't raced since October, but has a shout on last year's win at Ripon.
