Verdict
This is a really weak selling contest, with duck-eggs all over the place, and Seattle Express should prove to be the answer over Cherokee Bay and Inca Moon. At least Seattle Express has some form to his name, having won at Yarmouth in claiming company in August. He has since been tried over hurdles at Cartmel and has taken in another couple of claimers. The drop to this level should see him get back to winning ways despite having to conceded weight. Cherokee Bay won a fillies''s maiden on her debut over five furlongs here last year but has not progressed at all, so it is time for the Kieren Fallon treatment. Even that may not be enough though, and a place is the best that she can hope for. Inca Moon has only ever been placed twice and just cannot be relied upon, so with the rest woeful, Seattle Express has obvious claims.
