Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Sea And Sun showed enough on his sole start at Ripon to demand consideration, but the main interest centres on debutant Camelot Champion — a son of Camelot out of a useful dam, and a full brother to a performer who reached the top flight over 10-12 furlongs. He need not be exceptional to make his mark here against what looks modest opposition, and there is every chance he is considerably better than that. Camelot Champion is the selection.

Racing Post pick: Camelot Champion
