In depth
Verdict
A dual winner over 7f, Seas Of Elzaam went close over the latter trip here a fortnight ago and has every chance at this level but HEALING POWER is also a winner over 7f. Ivan Furtado’s charge was only beaten a neck over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time when caught in the closing stages and gets the nod on that form. Portugueseprincess has the beating of Restless Endeavour on these terms, though her best recent effort came over 7f.
