SEA OF BLUE was in very good form round this place a year ago and the signs were more than pleasing when he returned from a layoff to be second over 1m4f three weeks ago. That was a good starting point and he can kick on now to record a third course success at the main expense of last month's C&D winner Serefeli who should be involved again despite a 4lb rise. Hello Humpfrey is proven in these conditions so he merits respect despite a hike for his course win last month. King Christophe and Mosman have been absent from the winner's enclosure for a long while but both dropped hints lately that their turn could come around again soon.
