Verdict
SEEUSOON still looked in need of the experience when tackling this trip at Kempton in January but should be ready for this and looks the one to be on. Glacier Fox wasn’t stopping when tackling 1m2f for the first time at Nottingham in August and the lack of a recent run is rarely a problem for one from his yard. Nine Elms made his belated debut over a mile here last week but was outpaced and should be better suited by this trip. Withoutdestination battled on over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and, though never looking like winning, the extra furlong will be in his favour.
