SEAN MC showed significant improvement when a clear second in a big field at Fairyhouse last month, pulling well clear of the remainder. Open to further progress off just 3lb higher, he can go one better here. Kinturk Nelson shaped encouragingly when third on handicap debut and should appreciate this trip. Miss Mini Bee may bounce back on better ground after weakening last time.
