Verdict

SECRET SECRET may be able to register a third successive victory in this race. Recent C&D winner Seeyainthesuninn could go well again, while Westerton and Born Like Me both look interesting up in trip.

3	Won by wide margin on heavy ground when making it back-to-back successes in this race 12 months ago. Has proven effective (without winning) away from testing conditions and can be forgiven his effort in better race here last time. Expected to make a bold bid to defend his crown. 1st Pick 3 Secret Secret (Ire) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: James Moffatt J: Brian Hughes T: James Moffatt	100	-	-	-	25%

7	Capitalised on much-reduced mark to get off the mark over C&D last time. His dominance may have been overstated by the runner-up wilting, but he's relatively unexposed and should give another good account off 10 lb higher. 2nd Pick 7 Seeyainthesuninn Jockey: Joshua Thompson Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Joshua Thompson T: Micky Hammond	98	-	-	-	50%

2	Useful middle-distance handicapper at best on Flat. Well below that level but probably unlucky not to collect on second start current yard at Warwick (2m) before disappointing at Newton Abbot. Certainly worth a go over markedly longer trip, and could yet have a race in him off this sort of mark. 3rd Pick 2 Westerton (Ire) Jockey: Sean Quinlan Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Sean Quinlan T: Jennie Candlish	97	-	-	-	10%
