SEA TEMPEST showed plenty in a warm-looking race at Southwell on his debut in February and has to be considered the one to beat, though strong market support for one of the newcomers would alter the picture, with Hold The Throw particularly interesting having joined a yard with both an excellent bumper and course record after finishing runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points. Royalty Row'd and Saint Cunning are others to note.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Busted Springs could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Sea Tempest might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Saint Cunning is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
