Verdict

Seaviper sprang a bit of surprise at Doncaster last month but has another 8lb to carry here, which may prove beyond him. Another recent winner, Rascal, makes more appeal despite, carrying a penalty for an easy win over course and distance eight days ago though he looked to have a favourite's chance at Bangor yesterday. The improving Doctor Phoenix can build on his victory at Newcastle and looks a better bet than Kempton scorer Under The Phones and Wincanton third Vivant Poem. Come On Laurie looks to be facing a stiff task at the weights and Go West Young Man has downed tools too often to be considered a value bet. Lizzie Kelly produced AFTER EIGHT SIVOLA to score cleverly at Taunton and the partnership followed that up with a good third in better company at Sandown. The penny finally seems to have dropped with the five-year-old, who can get back on the winning trail again here.
