Sea The Stars colt who ran out a good winner of a Nottingham maiden in October. Improved a shade further upped in trip on return at Newbury and excuses on handicap bow at Chester since.

Form: 41-55

85/40

Left debut well behind when keeping on well to score at Ripon (1m). Heavy ground proved against him on handicap bow but resumed progress when making winning return at Chester. More to come.

Form: 8147-1

5/1

Took big step forward when landing 1m4f Wolverhampton novice in February, forging clear 2f out. Similar form when third of 4 on handicap/turf bow at Leicester next time so probably more needed.

Rushmore³⁴

11/4

Slowly away first 4 starts, not seen to best effect on handicap bow at Windsor. Much better when third upped in trip here next time and this even stiffer test will suit.

Form: 79-793

Forecasts

Set Point (2/1), Love Is Golden (85/40), Rushmore (11/4), Impulsive One (4/1), Liverpool Knight (5/1)

SET POINT wasn't seen to best effect on his handicap bow when fifth behind Love Is Golden at Chester and is worth another chance given the promise of his Newbury run. Love Is Golden could well get the run of things again in this small field so rates the main threat.
