Seamster failed to follow-up his earlier course and distance victory off today's mark last week but Sannibel has a shout if taking to the Fibresand. UPPER LAMBOURN returned to form with a narrow margin victory over the re-opposing Pull The Pin over track and trip last week. Ryedale Dancer was further behind and Chris Kellett's charge is fancied to confirm running as he remains well handicapped on his past form having tumbled down the weights last year. Course and distance winner Man Of My Word is another on a decent mark if rediscovering his best.
