Seifi caused quite a shock when winning at Beverley last week and he can prove it was no fluke by following up this afternoon, Next Flight and Little Tobias could be the ones to chase him home. Brian Ellison's gelding took it up two furlongs from home in that two mile contest and went on to decisively beat Saida Lenasera. That was his first outing for two years so there should be more to come and he looks the best prospect here. Next Flight looked on the way back when chasing home Red Sun at Catterick last time and will be hard to keep out of the places. Little Tobias drops to banded company for the first time and has chances on the best of last season's form, he could go well at a decent price. Chaka Zulu and Let It Be should also be considered when looking for each-way value, but if Seifi repeats last weeks effort he will be hard to beat.
