SEA LORD has won six times over hurdles and is rated 146 over the smaller obstacles. He should make short work of these if his jumping is up to scratch. Tramore runner-up Swantykay might be the one to take advantage if the eight-year-old doesn't fire as Owen Na View has a penalty for winning a handicap at Newbury in March. Young Palm is preferred to Badged of the others.
