Verdict

A tough contest rounds off the card and Sun Of The Sea is a speculative choice, while Etain and Limbo King are others to bear in mind. it would also be noteworthy to see if any support arrives for Djalalabad, who showed promise in his first couple of starts for Michael Jarvis but is an interesting recruit for his new yard. Limbo King is a typically unexposed runner from the James Fanshawe team that seems to be improving with each run. A mark of 73 is not insurmountable and the son of Barathea looks primed for a bold show. Etain handles cut in the ground and, as she is only 6lb higher than for his Windsor success, she rates as a big threat. The ground is not an issue with this Alhaarth filly and she would be dangerous to ignore if the market vibes are positive. However, Sun Of The Sea makes plenty of appeal at the likely odds, as Nick Littmoden's charge has vital experience of the track. The son of Best Of The bests has improved greatly since he was upped in distance and he may well have plenty more to offer now his stamina is proven.
