Verdict
SEASEARCH has yet to race on Turf but landed a double over 1m4f on the all-weather back in March and went close again at Southwell last time. He should stay the longer trip if handling today’s going and gets the nod. Pollyissimo is another likely to last home and wasn’t beaten that far when only sixth over 1m2f recently. She’s preferred to Master Grey, who should be sharper for a recent comeback and may well reverse running at Kempton with Say About It while Rose Of Shiraz is harder to recommend.
