Sea The Moon half-brother to three winners, the best being Highland Rocker (1m2f/1m4f; RPR 99); 15-2 shot on debut at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month, when acquitting himself well; should come on for that and be involved.

1m2f/1m4f winner on the AW for previous yard; settled better than in his first two runs over hurdles when demoted from first place in a 2m soft-ground maiden at Fontwell 15 days ago; that was a step forward but this handicap debut demands another.

Dual AW middle-distance winner for Charlie Johnston; picked up for 26,000gns; inclined to pull hard in two runs over hurdles for his new yard, who won this with a 4yo last year, and needs to be more amenable upped slightly in trip round here.

Half-sister to the yard's Group 1 winner Teona among others who improved a deal on her debut C&D second when a clear runner-up at Goodwood last month (hung right under pressure and goes without the hood this time); the one to beat.

His odds suggest more was expected from him on his first two starts but they proved modest efforts; improved on that when stepped up to 7f at Southwell (Tapeta) latest; this trip looks more likely to prove beneficial and it would be no surprise to see him finish much closer.

Form & Verdict
Showed some promise at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) on debut; built on that when upped in trip at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) latest, finding just the odds-on favourite too good; returns to shorter here and has major claims.

Fifth in his first two starts on the AW, but has improved since including when making a successful handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; creditable fourth of 12 on his Thirsk reappearance (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); could go well in the first-time hood.
