Verdict
Ralph Beckett is enjoying a decent spell and SEASIDE SIZZLER is selected in the hope that he takes to the sand. The gelding has yet to win a race but has shown on a couple of occasions that he's more than capable of lifting a prize like this and is given the vote to do so on his all-weather bow having made the frame at Goodwood last month. The ex-Irish Tenhoo has proven that he can go well fresh and, with plenty of form at Dundalk to his name, he looks a big player for his new yard whilst the in-form quartet of Kiama Bay, Naheell, Mohawk Ridge and Jezza help to give this race a competitive look. Starshine has to be considered for a yard that doesn't have many runners here whilst Stormy Morning also merits the utmost respect.
