7.00 GEORGE BOWEN (IRE); 8.00 I AM A DREAMER; MR WAGYU (IRE); 10.00 PRINCE OF BEL LIR (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
In an open affair marginal preference is for SOUL SEEKER, who has not been beaten far on his last three outings in testing conditions. The return to drier ground and the step up in trip earns the David O'Meara-trained four-year-old the vote off a workable mark. Devil's Angel has been progressing on the Tapeta of Newcastle and demands respect if transferring that form to the turf. Prince Of Bel Lir hit the ground running on his reappearance when winning at Nottingham last month and he completes the shortlist with Tom Marquand taking the ride.
