SECRET SECRET is a 3-time C&D winner who will surely be primed for his return to this venue after a sharpener at Kelso 5 weeks ago. He gets the vote over Evenwood Sonofagun, who took the one division of this race last season and is back after a breathing operation for a stable among the winners. R Bernard is another interesting runner returning from over a year off.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and R Bernard should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Zuul.
Individual Price Hint: Achnamara traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts: Evenwood Sonofagun traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts.
