Sire capable of getting smart offspring; already a gelding; sibling of Icy Lancaster (5f winner); no surprise to see him go well as some good aspects to his profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Verdict

It's a tricky race to be too confident about. All On Red should put up plenty of resistance while Periodic Table needs to be considered. However, SPIRIT OF THE SEA may prove the pick. He is a likely-looking newcomer that may be equal to the challenge.
