Sea The Stars colt who was beaten favourite on latest AW start (1m4f) but maintained his consistency by taking form figures to 223; open to progress now handicapping on turf; William Buick a positive booking; interesting contender.

0-7; runner-up three times in small fields over 1m4f-2m on turf/AW last year, but finished a well-beaten fourth of five at Goodwood (1m6f, heavy) this month; possible that the combination of a nine-month absence and deep ground found him out so he may show more on this better surface.

Form & Verdict
40-1 for his debut here (1m3f) three weeks ago when coming from a very long way back to take a never-nearer fifth of 14 (beaten just 4l at the finish); stable has turned a corner in a big way of late and he's open to considerable improvement; strong claims.

Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again.

Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft.

J: Mr Paddy Barlow

T: Seamus Mullins

Remote when third at Newbury (2m4f, soft) last month and remains winless since 2023; however, the form of his keeping-on fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) two starts ago has worked out well and he's too well handicapped to be ruled out on this first attempt at a staying trip.

Blinkered for his debut here three weeks ago when finishing behind Balboa and showing far less promise than that rival; probably one for further down the line.

Unexposed; tailed off on soft ground on handicap/turf debut at Doncaster last time out but has a chance on his AW novice form earlier in the year; first run at 1m6f and cheekpieces now replace the blinkers he has worn on all starts so far.

Big prices and has been beaten 18l or more in her four runs, including when a remote third on her handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f) 12 days ago; was a long behind Sexy Rexy in that race and she needs a transformation back on Tapeta.
