Verdict
SEAL ROCK showed a nice turn of foot to score over C&D on his reappearance and is still unexposed. There's a good chance Henry Candy's gelding will prove a lot better than his current mark and a hat-trick beckons. Neither Remotelinx nor Cadeaux Pearl look capable of reversing running with the selection, despite the revised terms, but Murbeh wasn't entirely disgraced in a Listed race at Ascot last month and should strip fitter here. El Viento's stable is in fine form but he needs to improve on a rather low-key return to action at Thirsk to figure here.
