Verdict

HMS SEAHORSE made a very bright start over hurdles earlier this year, landing a juvenile event prior to finishing fourth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham in March. Arriving on the back of a career-best effort when scoring on the Flat 4 weeks ago, he's fancied to continue the good work back over timber. As Tears Go By can provide the chief threat, ahead of fair bumper winner Gaoth Chuil.
