Victor Dartnall appears to have ironed out SEEBRIGHT's previous quirks and his charge dotted up at Fontwell two weeks ago. His overall form is the best in the race and he can get the better of the consistent Abbey Storm, who may find this too sharp on the prevailing going. Susquehanna River is interesting making his handicap debut while Hallmark Star and Until Winning have been knocking on the door in novice company and have place claims again. Look For Love looks a bigger danger, however, as his latest third at Chepstow came in a higher grade though he's 6lb higher now.
