In depth
Verdict
Dentley De Mee dead-heated over this trip at Huntingdon but will find life tougher here under a penalty. Nelson's Touch wasn't beaten far at Exeter while Scottsdale finished ahead of the more experienced Treble Strike at Huntingdon. SEA SOVEREIGN is a son of Sea The Stars and a half-brother to three Flat winners. Mark Pitman may have picked up a bargain and he should have too much pace for these. Mick Maestro is by first-season sire Air Chief Marshall and is worth a market check as he runs in the God's Own colours. Irish raider I See You Well may be best of the rest.
