OCEAN HEIGHTS ended a losing sequence with a bit to spare at Doncaster on Saturday and given he escapes a penalty for that, his follow-up claims appear to be very bright. Sceptic and Prince Achille head the opposition.

Down in the weights and snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Doncaster last week. Escapes a penalty for that so very much the one to beat.

Verdict
Well backed on second outing for this yard and landed 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in March. Just respectable efforts both starts since but he should remain competitive at this level back on turf.

Verdict
Needs everything to fall right given slow-starting tendencies and race wasn't run to suit at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. Sound pace not certain here, either.
