Verdict
Lexington Place was produced with a sweet late run to oblige the last day and Tom Eaves will no doubt looks to execute similar tactics here, a venue at which the Carr inmate has already proved his liking. He remains well treated and is respected. Classic Pursuit and Danehill Desert have similar profiles in that both are more than useful at this level but rarely seem to run two races alike. Talinski's season suggests he enters that sort of category too but a chance is taken with SEAMSTER. It's been a while since he was at his best but the veteran has fallen to a reasonable mark now and Cameron Noble takes off a further 5lb. If able to repeat the level shown this term behind the likes of Dapper Man here and Kinglami at Chepstow, then he would be a good each-way punt at least.
