The Nicky Henderson-trained Sea Captain gets the call here if the market speaks in his favour, with Flying Pride, Zachary and Glory Bee among others to consider. The selection is just that because it is a hard race to get a solid grip on and Henderson does well in this sphere. Turning to the others. Doroos was an expensive purchase as a yearling and showed some promise on his Warwick debut, but Flying Druid finished ahead of his that day. Cyrium ran reasonably well here on the second of his three starts to date, while Zachary is bred along Flat lines and is another to consider, and Venetia Williams is always to be feared in this sphere, so keep an eye on the betting regarding Glory Bee. Henrietta Knight runs My Pal Val, who was a little disappointing on her debut 34 days ago and, with a number of other good stables represented, as we say, keep an eye on the betting. Overall, then, the nod goes to Sea Captain.
