Verdict

A maximum turnout for this low grade staying handicap which looks set to go to Academy. Andy Turnell's eight-year-old started off last season as a well handicapped horse and was well placed to pick up five races along the way. Although he starts this season off a mark some 17lbs higher than when he gained the first of those success', he still doesn't look badly treated and he will appreciate the drying ground, unlike Turtle Valley, who cannot have the ground soft enough. Seattle Prince is just 3lbs higher than when landing an apprentice event last backend, but he is still well treated compared to his mark back in 2001, where he won off a mark of 75. He could prove to be well in here if he retains any of that ability. The disappointing Harlestone Bay is open to some improvement and starts the season off on a platers mark of 52. If he has any ability he should surely be competitive off this rating.
