Marco Botti can land a quick double on today's card with MAGIC OF THE SEA making plenty of appeal. She came good over today's trip at Wolverhampton last month despite her usual tardy start and further progress is expected now she has that first win under her belt. Seeking Glory ran his best race so far when runner-up at Lingfield and he should figure while better is expected from Les Verguettes now handicapping for the first time. Dells Breezer was not far away on his latest start and has claims on that.
