Verdict

SEA MIRAGE improved on his debut sixth when second at Leicester last month and any further progression could see Kevin Ryan's colt get off the mark. That said, Cheeky Chesca has been knocking hard on the door of late and she should not be underestimated, while any market support for Sunset Cove on her racecourse bow would have to be noted.

Top Tip: Sea Mirage (3)
Watch out for: Cheeky Chesca (6)

SEA MIRAGE took a clear step forward from his debut when runner-up at Leicester on his second start and appeals as the type to improve further with experience. A strong, scopey colt, he sets the standard on what he has achieved so far and may still have plenty more to offer. Cheeky Chesca has been knocking on the door in similar contests, going close in both a maiden at Redcar and novice at Wetherby on her last two starts, and looks sure to be competitive again, while Sunset Cove is an interesting newcomer from a yard renowned for producing sharp juveniles and would be no surprise winner if ready to roll first time out for Karl Burke.
