Verdict

SAINT OF THE SEA has returned a much-improved model, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when third on qualifying run at Southwell 18 days ago. He's the type to raise his game further from appealing opening mark and earns the vote, with Kokushoku, who is equipped with a first-time visor another to consider. Crimson Rambler and Bird of War can also figure. Del Corso commands a market check.

5	Much improved upon returning from a break, runner up in February prior to shaping better than distance beaten suggests in a well-run race when third at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago.

4	Son of Dark Angel who finished runner up on first 2 starts, displaying fair form latterly at Lingfield (1m) in February despite still looking rough around the edges. Never figured on qualifying run at Southwell but could yet get back on the up now handicapping in a visor. 2nd Pick 4 Kokushoku (Ire) Jockey: Ross Coakley Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford J: Ross Coakley T: Simon & Ed Crisford	93	-	-	-	4%	24/1

6	Built on previous promise to notch back-to-back victories at around 1m last month and not seen to best effect (denied clear run/forced to switch) when fourth in hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Nudged up a little more in the weights but respected as an in-form sort. 3rd Pick 6 Crimson Rambler Jockey: Liam Wright Trainer: George Scott J: Liam Wright T: George Scott	96	-	-	-	10%	9/1
