      Verdict

      Seamster, a winner at Lingfield in January, has been racing in much better company and should reach a place though GREYFRIARSCHORISTA looks to have the call. Giles Bravery's charge landed a claimer here in December and a Class 5 handicap in February and, with regular pilot Slade O'Hara able to claim, he can gain his sixth victory on the track. Abi Scarlet is another regular winner around here though she's taking on slightly better company but Layla's Hero pops up every now and then in this sort of grade and can never be dismissed. Alpha Tauri rarely runs anywhere else but it's a long time since he last won.
