Form & Verdict
Sea The Stars colt out of a Listed-placed Italian 1m-1m3f winner; justified favouritism on Southwell debut (1m) in December and he went very close under penalty here (1m3f) the following month, despite taking a strong hold; looks on workable mark now switched to a handicap and could have a lot more to offer, particularly if he can settle better.

Never figured at Royal Ascot then looked a non-stayer over 1m6f in the Ebor; returns to calmer waters and drops back in trip, so may tap back into earlier progress (AW/turf) that produced form figures of 1211.

Made debut at the end of 2024; won three of his first four starts, on last occasion a 12-runner handicap here (1m4f, good to firm) in May when he led over 2f out and narrowly saw off Stressfree; had been racing freely and prominently, so the widest draw at Royal Ascot (1m4f; just 7-1) posed a challenge but he didn't really fire behind Ethical Diamond; he was shaping up to be a serious talent before that and has now been gelded.

Not seen on a racecourse until the end of 2024 but he's now won three of his four starts; first three races were tight finishes on AW when trained by Charlie Fellowes; debut for this yard came in 12-runner handicap at York (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago when he narrowly saw off the challenge of Stressfree; up another 5lb today and has joined Wathnan Racing for their big meeting; has been racing freely and prominently, so perhaps the widest draw today will pose a challenge, but he's shaping up to be a serious talent.

Looked back in prime form at Newmarket on his last two outings when coming from the rear to win over 1m4f and 1m6f; the latter was by a short head but against a respected opponent and perhaps good to soft ground was not ideal when he took sixth at 40-1 in this race last year.

Mostly competitive off reduced marks for new yard this season and Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago saw him lead final 1f to break a long losing run, doing it in good style too; back up 5lb but he used to be effective on a range of ground and has returned to serious calculations.

Couple of creditable fourths here (1m4f/1m3f) in the autumn but he was disappointing back over hurdles (2-1) on his final run last year; bit to prove again after break and he doesn't have a great strike-rate in this sphere.

Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting.
