It was soft ground when SEEDLING scored over track and trip a fortnight ago. He can shrug off a penalty and go in again in this company. As De Mee ran well on his hurdling debut at Worcester and looks the main threat ahead of Sea Wall, fifth at Taunton on his first start over timber. Al Guwair may prove best of those arriving from off the Flat, although Stars Royale has made the frame in a point-to-point and could go well.
