Market support for Sea Change would be compelling as he's a choicely-bred handicap newcomer representing top connections, but he hung badly left when tried here previously and without that market to guide us the percentage call is to look elsewhere. We'll do that in siding with LIBRETTISTA, an improving sort who is in the right hands to keep defying the handicapper. She's up 3lbs following an ultimately convincing Yarmouth success and a fine second at Wolverhampton suggests that there are races to be won with her away from the turf. Richard Hughes takes the ride aboard Peace Corps who merits respect dropping in class, Wulfrida was beaten a head off this rating when last tried in a handicap while My Galway Man should keep improving the further he goes and therefore has each-way claims along with the similarly lightly-raced Minikin.
