Sea King has been raised 9lb for winning at Doncaster back in April but this extra distance may bring further progress. Duty Bound is upped 5lb for scoring over today’s trip at Sandown while Double Cherry beat Percy Jones when successful over 1m4f at Goodwood. Nathanael Greene finished runner-up over the same course and distance with Valsad behind but the former’s stablemate HELLO JUMEIRAH had a tilt at the Cheshire Oaks earlier in the season and the Haggas filly gets a tentative vote now handicapping. Giavellotto and Achnamara are others worthy of consideration in an open contest.
