Mediterranean Sea has been performing to a consistent level of form at Southwell over the last six months but she's now rated 23lb higher than for her only previous turf success and might be vulnerable to the returning SUGAR HICCUP. She hasn't been sighted since last September but was improving steadily then and being a daughter of Refuse To Bend, the soft ground should hold no fears. Wily Fox is another of note back on the Flat having been campaigned over obstacles this winter.
