Beat a subsequent winner with something to spare on debut at Kempton and looks leniently treated on that form. Yard's three-year-olds are in good form and the jockey booking is another positive.
Form of her maiden win does not amount to a great deal but that is reflected in her opening handicap mark. Down the field in a Listed race last time but this is more her level. Trainer amongst the winners on Wednesday and as a daughter of Shamardal she can be expected to progress with age.
Has looked a hard ride but will have had his confidence helped by a comfortable victory in a three runner maiden last time. Looks up against it now against some promising types.
Cost €240,000 as a half-sister to the smart stayer Pallasator. Form has not really been tested and handicap mark looks about right. There are others who look better treated and she may need further in order to improve. Yard are in excellent form of late.
Winner over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last summer. In here on a 12lb higher mark against lightly raced rivals who have not been set hard tasks on their seasonal bows. Has a lot to find but 7lb claimer has ridden four winners (further seven placed) from 28 rides and that is a good start.
Two best efforts have come over C&D. May have needed the run more than expected when sent off favourite and weakening a furlong out at Lingfield. Others appear better handicapped.
Has been going well in lower grade races under enterprising rides. Continues to rise up the weights but it would be a mistake for riders, and punters, to underestimate her.

Forecasts
Son Of The Stars (8/13), Prosper (5/1), Ray's The Money (7/1), Drochaid (7/1), Illaunmore (12/1), Jumping Jack (14/1), Seaview (14/1), Masonic (33/1)
Seaview will test her rivals from the front here. A few of her rivals will want to have as easy a time as possible and that is something her rider will want to exploit. Nevertheless, on these weight terms it is difficult to see past the lightly raced trio of Prosper, Ilaunmore and SON OF THE STARS. The former represents a yard enjoying an impressive strike rate at present although she would probably want much further in due course. Ilaunmore won an ordinary maiden and she is another who may want further. SON OF THE STARS is more speedily bred and could hardly have been more impressive than when beating a subsequent winner on his debut. A mark of 81 may underestimate him and his trainer has taken positive steps with the jockey booking.
