Naqeeb hung under pressure when favourite at Leicester last month but will know more today. Stablemate Seendid is a very interesting newcomer being a brother to two winners, including the top-class Nezwaah, but Talisman shaped as though needing further when a one-paced fifth over 1m3f here. Nothing To Sea was still showing signs of inexperience at Windsor and TONY MONTANA (NAP) makes more appeal. His debut second at Salisbury last season has worked out well with the third, Racingbreaks Ryder, rattling up a four-timer subsequently. Benoit De La Sayette also takes off 3lb today.
