Recent winner Seamus Shindig can win this at the expense of North South Divide and Compton¿s Eleven. The selection comes from the in form Henry Candy yard who have been having a purple patch at present. Seamus Shindig improved from his reappearance run to win at Goodwood. Now five pounds higher he still could look well handicapped and if reproducing his best then he is taken to win again. North South Divide has been knocking on the door of late and ran a personal best when second of fifteen to the selection at Goodwood. He is three pounds better off today but we feel it is not enough to justify the form being reversed. Compton¿s Eleven came back to somewhere near his best when second at Newmarket last time out. He has run well on an undulating track in the past so is one to treat with respect. But for the winner we return to Seamus Shindig.
