The very-progressive Sea Appeal was chasing a hat-trick in the 4.40 at Gowran yesterday. The maiden Lifetime Legend is well enough handicapped though may just find this on the short side. Team Of Firsts won a heavy-ground maiden here in the spring and didn’t reappear until August when running better than finishing position suggests. He’s a threat to all though ZOZIMUS (NAP) has to be the selection after a superb run in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket. Donnacha O’Brien’s charge finished fourth in a huge field that day and a repeat would see him very difficult to beat. Stellium has changed stables since an impressive maiden victory at Tramore in August.
