Sacha Park won a handicap over course and distance last time and should figure again but Seamster will find this tougher having made a successful trip over to Laytown last month. Noverre To Go and Fitz Flyer are both capable at this level and the former finished ahead of Hamoody and ARCTIC LYNX when going close at Kempton recently. But the latter re-opposes on better terms in this and it could be his turn today. Regal Parade drops in class and is another to consider.
