Lightly-raced 7f winner who returned from 12 months off with a promising effort in the Spring Cup at Newbury but hasn't fired since.

Cheekpieces on first time, much improved when returning from a year off to win 1m Chelmsford novice and backed it up by landing a handicap (lead late) at Lingfield in June. More to come, so well respected.

4/1
Easily off the mark at the second attempting Doncaster novice lin June and acquitted himself well when runner-up (clear of rest) under a penalty at Newmarket later in the month. Likely to go on progressing.

Sea The Stars colt who showed a bright turn of foot to make a winning debut in a Chepstow maiden, then overcame early keenness to defy a penalty in ready style. Excellent prospect who is fancied to maintain unbeaten run.

Boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when doubling his tally in a Kempton novice in March. Has remained in form since, seventh of 19 in the King George V Stakes at the Royal meeting here last time. Not ruled out.

Winner at Wolverhampton in April but yet to kick on from that, just a respectable third at Kempton last time. Drop in trip unlikely to suit.

Forecasts

Sea The Casper (15/8), Surrey Mist (3/1), First Ruler (4/1), Big Meeting (4/1), Etonian (22/1), Scampi (22/1)

Verdict

SEA THE CASPER has looked a bright prospect in winning his first 2 starts, well on top despite racing freely at Redcar last time, and a mark of 92 could underestimate this potentially Group-class 3yo. He's an obvious choice ahead of Big Meeting, who did well to get up close home at Lingfield last month, and First Ruler is another one to consider.
