      Verdict

      The Detainee has gone up 4lb since just edged out over this trip at Perth but will be hard to keep out of the frame again. NOTNOW SEAMUS has gone up a further 8lb since completing a double over course and distance at the start of the month but looks the type to do just enough and could complete the hat-trick. It’s exactly 12 months since Mr Caffrey was last seen on a racecourse but fitness is rarely an issue with a Richard Newland runner and the bottom weight is much respected. Man Look has a shorter absence to overcome but needs some help from the handicapper.
