Having scored at Sandown last month, SENECA CHIEF backed it up with a narrow fourth in a 0-90 at Pontefract a fortnight ago, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways in this lesser grade provided they go a solid pace. In-form Hyde Park Barracks is also respected and the speedy Sir Rodneyredblood rarely runs a bad race at this track, so a bold showing from him would be no surprise.
