Useful performer. Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 13 days ago, left with lot to do.

Useful for Aidan O'Brien as a 3-y-o in 2019, including third in a Group 3, but he hasn't been seen since then (gelded). Betting perhaps the best guide on this very belated return.

Winner of C&D novices on both starts, looking potentially smart when cruising clear last month. An opening BHA mark of 87 could seriously underestimate him.

Dual C&D winner this winter, posting a career best when readily seeing off the reopposing Imperial Command last month. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Tyrrhenian Sea (1/2), U S S Michigan (9/2), Keyser Soze (15/2), Star Shield (12/1), Imperial Command (12/1), Crackling (125/1)

Verdict

TYRRHENIAN SEA lacks the experience of a few of these but he created a really good impression when making it 2-2 over C&D last month and can take the next step up the ladder in his stride. Star Shield has been in very good form here this winter and can follow Roger Varian's charge home.

  1. TYRRHENIAN SEA (IRE)
  2. STAR SHIELD
  3. KEYSER SOZE (IRE)
