In depth
Verdict
SEA ODYSSEY has yet to operate at this level but looked a colt on the upgrade with plenty more to give when impressing at Lingfield and Brighton. He travels well and can maintain the good start to Charlie Hills' training career. Malcolm Saunders is a dab hand with sprinters and his shrewd placing of Fanrouge has delivered three successes - all at Bath - in the last four outings. She needs to improve again but clearly is another with more to offer. Springinmystep, also entered at Haydock on Saturday, will find this easier than the Listed company contested at the Ebor meeting whilst Moustache is dropped to the minimum trip for the first time on his fifth outing for team Hannon. It's an interesting move. Guru Girl, a C&D winner, is as game as they come and should deliver another solid account for Elaine Burke.
