The progressive SEABORN has now won four of six starts since joining Pat Chamings’ yard having scored with plenty to spare at Goodwood last time. He may not have stopped winning yet and is preferred to Sir Prize. The latter has won three times here this year but could only manage third over track and trip last time while Sufi is fitted with a tongue-tie having been narrowly beaten over 1m6f at Bath recently. Argus won at Southwell early in the year and hasn’t raced since June while All Yours went close over today’s trip in maiden company on his penultimate start.
