Verdict
It will be interesting to see if there is any market interest in Sea Crossing, who is by Sea The Stars and a half-brother to a Group 3 winner in Italy - Hollie Doyle rides. Zuhair has a nice pedigree but may need this. Aerion Power missed the break at Kempton but was making good headway in the closing stages and will know more today. MITHRAS (NAP) was very coltish at Sandown but he will have come on a bundle for the experience and that race is working out well with the second and third winning since and the winner finishing third in a Listed race at Doncaster last week. Saratoga Gold, Innovator and Oo De Lally are other likely improvers.
