Hadath is our choice to win a poor seller, with Global Achiever and Leah's Pride also in with chances. The Brendan Powell-trained gelding has been running consistently on the all-weather all winter at six and seven furlongs and won a handicap at this course under today's jockey last December. He drops down from handicap company and should be able to win a race of this poor quality. Global Achiever was third in a Wolverhampton seller over today's trip last month. On the basis of that run he looks to be the main danger to our selection today. Leah's Pride has been running well in banded company throughout the winter but only picked up one race, and she will have to improve on recent efforts to add to that total today. Hadath and George Baker is our choice in the seller.
