Verdict
Seymour Eric finally came good at Hereford 10 days ago but has a 7lb penalty to overcome in this. Be All Man made a promising reappearance at Wincanton while Market Option has place prospects again but Giveitachance failed in his hat-trick bid at Wetherby last month and has gone up a further 6lb since. Weather depending, Benefit Of Youth will probably go to Ffos Las and that may have opened the door for MOLLY OSCAR to open her account. David Pipe's mare is gradually getting the hang of things judged on her latest third over a longer trip here last time and her proven stamina will be an asset on this ground.
