SEA OF HEAVEN came good stepped up to today's trip at Newcastle last week when making all. Luke Morris could afford to ease him down in the closing stages and he can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Duke Street's winning run came to an end when upped into this grade at Ripon last time but course and distance winner Waterclock drops back down in class after failing to figure at York. Medina Sidonia won over 1m4f at Thirsk recently and has plenty of scope for further improvement.
