Verdict
A couple of handicap debutants make most appeal in this. Liable was no match for the winner over 1m4f at Salisbury but can figure again though preference is for SEAHOUSES (NAP). The latter proved he stays this far when third at Goodwood a fortnight ago and there should be more to come over the trip. Lionella landed a lower grade contest over track and trip recently while Miss Cynthia went close over today’s distance at Yarmouth. Further Measure has been in winning form at Wolverhampton while Motazzen ran well when last seen over 1m6f.
