In depth
Verdict
Seas Of Green failed to complete at Doncaster when bidding for a hat-trick having been raised 14lb. King's Road is upped 8lb for landing a seller at Market Rasen and will find this tougher while Uttoxeter winner Fairy Alisha floundered in the testing ground at Haydock last time. ASSIREM carries a penalty for last week's win at Towcester but returned a ready winner and looks capable of going in again on that evidence.
