Seaforth is the only course winner in the line-up and he's 3lb lower than his victory in March. Bescaby makes his handicap debut and has been beaten a long way in all three starts but HIGH FORT can take this as he has run well at Newcastle and his latest second place there was boosted when the winner completed a quick double a few days later. Lethal Laura, a winner at Chelmsford in the summer, was staying on over 7f at Newcastle last time while Molten Lava pops up every now and then and has dropped to a winnable mark. Nabvutika has been well supported on a couple of occasions so watch the market as she's on her lowest ever mark.
