Seaview has been raised further in the weights for finishing second at Wolverhampton last time and is now 11lb higher than her earlier success over 7f here at the start of the year. VANTAGE POINT makes more appeal having easily won a maiden race over track and trip on his Fibresand debut and there looks more to come from him on this surface. Killermont Street has won a handicap at Newcastle but has been beaten off today’s mark subsequently while Shambra and Midnight Man have no easy task as they return to action.
