Verdict

DISTANT SEAS has Colin Keane doing the steering this time and is given another chance to confirm the promise of his C&D debut second. Gannas and Billie Be Quick are others with the form to be thereabouts, while Fiona Maccoul and Bundle of Interest are newcomers worth monitoring in the betting.
