Verdict
SEA INVASION, placed in a point last year, is by Sea Moon out of a Flat winner in Germany so should have the pace for this. Faha Belle won between the flags but disappointed on her bumper debut. Court In The Act was third at Huntingdon in May, however, while Fortuna Major’s dam won a bumper in her one and only start under Rules.
