SEA OF CHARM was beaten a neck when sent off favourite over track and trip last month but that form looks better in hindsight with the winner subsequently completing a four-timer so Harry Dunlop’s filly gets another chance. Forge Valley Lad also went close here last time and can figure again while Stopnsearch returns to this longer trip with a shout. Charlie Arthur’s earlier win came over 1m4f while maiden winner Bluenose Belle makes her handicap debut.
