SEAMUS RUA was having his first start for Charlie Longsdon when finishing fourth at Stratford. He should strip fitter here and is marginally preferred to In A Heartbeat, a little disappointing last time after a promising debut second. Newforge House should improve on his third at Fontwell at the end of last year, when he raced wide throughout, while Swanage Bay warrants a second look on his introduction.
