Son of Wootton Bassett who displayed fair form in turf/all-weather maidens at up to 1¼m for Owen Burrows in 2024. Not seen again until well held in 1½m Kempton novice 19 days ago but should come on for the outing and retains potential now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Two AW wins this year, latterly over 11f at Kempton last month. Equally effective on turf and should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.

Forecasts

Expressionless (10/3), Johnny Boom (7/2), Seraphic (7/2), Sea Of Charm (9/2), Hibernate (15/2), Serviceman (10/1), Alta Rica (12/1)

Verdict

EXPRESSIONLESS shaped well over a shorter trip on his recent Doncaster reappearance and is taken to build on that promise now. Sea of Charm arrives on the back of 2 good runs on the all-weather and is second choice ahead of last week's Pontefract runner-up Johnny Boom.
