Verdict

Course and distance winner Sea Map put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when landing a seller at Yarmouth earlier this month and is taken to follow up here at the main expense of York Cliff and Molly's Secret. The last mentioned may have needed her latest start as it was here first since June and it will be interesting to see if she can recapture previous form. Moon Shot is well treated judged by BHB ratings but has given little sign of encouragement of late, while Regency Red may struggle under his penalties. Champion Lion is on a long losing sequence and is far from certain to handle this surface and of more interest may be York Cliff, who has every chance at the weights and has the assistance of Eddie Ahern. Sea Map has solid claims on recent evidence though and he gets the vote.
