SEA APPEAL has progressed since switched to handicaps and while a 9 lb rise for last month's Listowel success, this 3-y-o probably has more to offer. He is taken to complete the hat-trick. La Hacienda's latest third in a big-field Galway handicap was a solid effort and she should have a part to play, while recent hurdles winners Autumn Evening and Wolf Prince also make some appeal.
