FormscanBy Michael Graham - SEDDON can take advantage of being best in at the weights. He ran up a four-timer between October and April and among those victories was the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival and a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. A recent run in a qualified riders' race at Killarney should have blown away the cobwebs. An Mhi sealed a four-timer over flights when obliging in Downpatrick last month. He faces a tough task at the weights, but is more than adept on decent ground. Winter Fog has the highest rating on 147 which entitles him to plenty of respect, however, he is more vulnerable on better ground. He was a beaten favourite in fourth at Kilbeggan in August. Happy Jacky was much improved in second in a quality handicap hurdle at Killarney which gives him a shot at prize money.
