Across The Sea remains 8lb higher than when successful at Ffos Las in August and novice winner Woodside Wonder has failed to build on an earlier second in a handicap at Musselburgh, though this is easier. Stablemate Friendly Advice makes his handicap debut and is preferred but this can go to DEPUTISE. The latter went close in this grade at Chelmsford when clear of the rest and the Haggas colt can race off this same mark today.
