Sea Of Blue won a division of this last year and returned to form when runner-up to the in-form Duchessofflorence earlier this month. She can go well again but the concession of weight to SEREFELI may be beyond her. Pat Smullen was on board when the latter gained his first success on the surface after some progressive runs and a 4lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Hello Humpfrey narrowly defeated Bottleofsmoke last month but the runner-up did nothing for the form next time and King Christophe looks more of a threat after a neck defeat by War Goddess, though he was receiving 13lb. Shukhov hasn't won for almost a year but has a good record around here and is now on a very favourable mark.
