Prince Of The Seas
PRINCE OF THE SEAS arrives on the back of a couple of useful efforts, and he's taken to get off the mark for David O'Meara. Last year's runner-up Per Contra could be worth another chance, with better-than-ever Salamanca City another to consider in an open-looking handicap.

Frankel colt. Brother to smart winner up to 1¼m Al Mubhir. Steadily progressive in maidens. Well positioned when ¾-length second behind subsequent winner on handicap bow at Thirsk (1½m). In better company taking on his elders for first time, though he's relatively unexposed.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThirsk1m 4f 8yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/5Hamilton Park1m 3f 15yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/5Haydock Park1m 3f 140ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat4/9Leicester1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/6- 6(5)Salamanca CityJ: Daniel MuscuttT: James Fanshawe326-121Age 57/27/24/1

Form this season looks solid. Narrowly made it 2 wins from 3 at Goodwood last time, having travelled smoothly into the race. That was a career best on the figures, and she's more than capable of holding her own back up in grade.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 3f 218yGood to SoftFlat1/9Lingfield Park1m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/8Yarmouth1m 2f 23yGoodFlat1/13Yarmouth1m 3f 104ySoftFlat6/8Haydock Park1m 2f 42yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/6- 7(7)Per ContraJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby9703480Age 55/15/111/2

Runner-up behind subsequent winner in this race 12 months ago. Promising signs when third behind Star Harbour/fourth in solid big-field handicap at York before finding John Smith's Cup too competitive last Saturday.

Contested a couple of Derby trials for Ralph Beckett before going on to win 1½m Goodwood handicap last summer. Confirmed he's back to his best for new connections with close second at Hamilton (13f) last week. Bigger field/stronger pace should see him go one better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHamilton Park1m 5f 16yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/5Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to FirmFlat3/8York1m 3f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/9Ripon1m 1f 170yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/10York1m 3f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/10- 4(2)ElsassJ: Connor BeasleyT: Charlie Johnston120-110Age 46/16/111/2

Returned from a break/gelding operation an improved model. Followed up Southwell success with plenty to spare at Hamilton (11f) in mid-May (form has taken a few knocks). Didn't give his running on return from 7-week break in Old Newton Cup earlier this month, eased as though possibly amiss.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewmarket (july)1m 4fGood to FirmFlat10/12Hamilton Park1m 3f 15yGoodFlat1/7Southwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat1/6Newmarket (rowley)1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat10/12Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/9- 1(4)SpioradaltaJ: Paul MulrennanT: Mark Walford-718106Age 613/215/27/1

Likeable, forward-going type. Notched his seventh win in just over a year at this course in May. Below form in similar event at Windsor last time (11.5f), however, he's clearly a better horse at this track (4-time C&D winner).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor1m 3f 99yGood to FirmFlat6/7York1m 2f 56yGoodFlat11/16Ripon1m 1f 170yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat1/10Chester1m 2f 70yGoodFlat8/9Ripon1m 1f 170yGood to SoftFlat1/10- 2(1)Star HarbourJ: Oisin James OrrT: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland-650425Age 813/213/27/1

Veteran who chased home a well-treated one (clear of Per Contra in third) in a better race at Carlisle in late-May. Shaped as if still in good form when 9½ lengths fifth at Curragh subsequently, while also extending a losing run stretching back to 2024.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 4fGoodFlat5/13Carlisle1m 3f 39yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/12Leopardstown1m 4fGoodFlat4/10Cork1m 4f 30ySoft to HeavyFlat14/15Gowran Park1m 4fSoftFlat5/9- 3(8)HakuJ: Silvestre De SousaT: Mark Loughnane14513-7Age 733/125/128/1

Useful performer on the all-weather. Better than ever when successful at Southwell in November. Probably in need of a break when down the field on latest start at Kempton over the winter, though it's hard to be confident he can capitalise on 7 lb lower turf mark (0-5 on this surface).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat7/10Wolverhampton1m 4f 51yStandardFlat3/6Southwell1m 4f 14yStandardFlat1/7Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat5/12Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat4/11
