SEA GREY was a 25/1 chance when making a successful debut over 1m2f at Lingfield where the further he went the better he was travelling. Today's longer trip won't be a problem nor will it be for Wild Crusade. The Godolphin colt was beaten just under a length by a 100/1 winner over 1m3f here last month and looks certain to make a bold bid in receipt of 7lb. The stable also run Nahanni, a son of Frankel out of a winner over this trip.
