Sebs Sensei was only beaten half-a-length off a mark of 70 in a handicap over course and distance last time. He's rated 6lb higher than Excellent Royale, a beaten favourite in his last two starts and becoming expensive to follow. But neither of them have the scope of BOWIE BOY, a staying-on third here last month having been held up well off the pace and hampered turning for home. Ralph Beckett's colt can find the necessary improvement to land this. The others with experience have a bit to prove but Willie Muir's newcomer Jammy Moment is a half-brother to two Flat winners and should have a future.
