Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 63

14/1

Promising third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton a week ago. Eyeshield worn for the first time that day is retained and he is worth a check in the market.

Harry Callahan¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 54

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 53

20/1

Forecasts

Zarrar (3/1), Taurean Dancer (4/1), Konigin (9/2), Clovelly Bay (9/1), Pivotal Flame (10/1), Famous Dynasty (12/1), Harry Callahan (12/1), Another Go (12/1), Music Major (14/1), Rainbow Jazz (14/1), Seasearch (14/1), Dolphin Village (16/1), Lady Of Authority (20/1), Art Of Swing (33/1), Aria Rose (33/1), Spring Dixie (66/1)

SEASEARCH should appreciate the return to this distance on his first start since the spring and he can record a third victory of 2018 in this competitive handicap contest. The selection looks capable of taking this with the well handicapped Music Major taken to finish runner-up with a top jockey booked to ride. Hat-trick seeking Zarrar has a wide draw to overcome and she can claim third.
