12/1

8/1, might have needed the run after 5 months off when seventh of 10 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago. Up in trip and likely he'll be better off in handicaps after this.

Form: 5-7

Sea The Stars colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Mubhijah. Dam once-raced half-sister to Oaks/King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Taghrooda (by Sea The Stars). Of obvious interest on debut for powerful connections.

Forecasts

Munsif (1/1), Sea Of Kings (9/4), Cameron Highlander (7/2), Belaya River (15/2), So Alex (10/1), Karthon (12/1), Just Adair (33/1), Fiery Dawn (33/1), Typeface (125/1)

Those with experience don't set a tall standard to aim at so SEA OF KINGS is selected to make a winning start for the up-and-coming Harry Eustace yard. Heading up the dangers is Cameron Highlander, who showed plenty to work on when third in a Newcastle novice last month and is open to improvement. Newcomers Munsif and Belaya River are worth keeping a close eye on, too.
