Verdict
EDWARD SEXTON went very close to making a winning debut at Sandown and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Seaview Rock proved quite popular at the sales last year and looks a likely newcomer for Dan Skelton, while Spectacularsunrise is also from a yard that has a good record in these events.
