Seamster had dropped to a very lowly mark when gaining a comfortable victory here last month but he's been hit hard by the assessor with a 9lb rise. Consistant has won three times from 17 all-weather starts though has never run on this track. But he's in good form and has won from a higher mark in the past so has to be considered. GHOST TRAIN has a poor strike-rate but is going well having dropped to a lowly mark. He wouldn't have minded another furlong but hopefully can get going in time to snatch the spoils. West Leake last won a race off exactly the same mark here a year ago so has to be respected under Tom Queally.
