SEAN OG made a winning debut for this yard by a comfy 12 lengths at Plumpton and, although he has incurred a 7lb penalty as a result, it's hard to look beyond him here. It was a very weak race and there's always the possibility that a quick return to the track won't help to show him in the best light whilst his stamina for this trip isn't set in stone but the race didn't appear to take too much out of him and it's hard to look elsewhere. Great Ocean Road is up by 8lbs for winning over course and distance and may have more to offer whilst Executive's Hall is running relatively well at present and holds Feeling Peckish on their recent running at Wetherby. Reelwill struggled over hurdles but her yard does well with chasers and she's worth a cursory market check.
