Conditions were very testing when Seventii won at Yarmouth and he was flattered by the result. Esspeegee beat KILIM here last month but only by half-a-length. The pair finished clear of the remainder but John Berry’s filly may well take her revenge on a pound better terms if ridden closer to the pace today. Ravenswood and Eben Dubai remain winless and are worth opposing again while Affair is high enough in the weights and may struggle to confirm June’s Lingfield form with winning hurdler Lord E.
