Verdict
Born To Reason has been in good form here over the winter and can go well again but SEAFORTH looks worth sticking with. The latter is another regular here and won one of these lowly events over course and distance with a bit in hand last time. He’s taken to defy a 4lb penalty and also confirm earlier running at the track with Rockesbury. Memory Hill may figure handicapping for the first time while Kyllachy Dragon finished in front of Decoration Of War when runner-up here last month. Zeshov has yet to win on the all-weather but is not badly treated on his placed form.
