SEASMOKE (6) followed a win with a strong second last time over 3m1/2f at Southwell beaten 6L. Nicely placed here and can return to winning ways. MAXIMUM OFFERS (1) began the campaign with a solid third in a hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter. Failed to progress but retains ability and must be respected. JO LESCRIBAA (3) disappointed last time when beaten sixth over 3m2f at Uttoxeter. On best form is capable of featuring. Consider. BORN AT MIDNIGHT (4) showed promise when third at Hereford two outings back. Failed to fire last time when well beaten tackling 3m3 1/2f at Fontwell Park. Not without a chance.
