Rose Sea Has has been thereabouts without threatening the winner in all three starts since returning to action. But the lack of a recent run caught out HIDOR DE BERSY at Wetherby last month as he faded in the closing stages having arrived at the last fence holding every chance. He’ll be sharper for that and can go one better. Great Ocean may also improve with a tongue-tie applied for this while Mortens Leam won at Kempton when last in action but that was in the April of 2021.
