Verdict
SEA OF HEAVEN (NAP) has all the hallmarks of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver. He failed to figure in maiden company over shorter trips but the half-brother to five winners, including 1m5f Group 3 winner Feel Like Dancing, should show his true colours over middle-distances. Magical Thomas scored at Kempton last time, where he beat Knight Music, and should go well along with Avenue Des Champs, who landed a double over today's trip at Beverley earlier in the month. Consortium is usually thereabouts without being good enough off his current mark.
