Although she is yet to convince on the track, given the red-hot form of the Rae Guest yard it would be dangerous to dismiss Sea Of Maria who is open to improvement going from 1m to 1m4f on this handicap debut. Another one worth placing towards the top of any shortlist is Lord Warburton who displayed evident improvement for the switch to this grade when fourth at Chelmsford. The application of cheek-pieces and step up in trip may see him take another step forward. However, similar comments apply to MARIE'S GEM who has improved notably to produce two solid efforts the last twice and with the step up to 1m4f offering the hope of more to come he can take the finale.
