Seamster has claims on his latest second in a lower grade event at Kempton and Demoiselle Bond is also capable of getting involved with a 7lb claimer helping her cause. Ishetoo could make the frame, although her losing run stretches back to 2009, while though Christopher Chua finished second here last month he is without a win in 23 starts. WATERLOO DOCK has recorded five of his six wins so far over this course and distance and, having found only the progressive Random Success too good here last week, Mick Quinn's charge gets the nod.
