This looks no tougher than the race OVERTOUGEORGE (NAP) won over course and distance last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. Sehayli remains 8lb higher than when last successful but Stigwood will be sharper for a recent comeback at Stratford and may also improve handicapping for the first time. Leopolds Rock has won on the Flat since last over timber and may prove best of the remainder.
