Verdict
The step up in trip suited SEA THE CLOUDS (NAP) last time and he was beaten only a neck over track and trip. The winner has subsequently gone in again so the form looks solid enough. Izayte has been thereabouts over 2m recently and could figure while Oslo won over a shorter trip here last summer and will be sharper for a recent comeback. Aviewtosea may prove best of the rest.
