Oscar Romeo and Tinkwood are interesting newcomers but those with experience boast a decent level of form. Lucia Bay has finished runner-up in both starts, while Willow's Saviour and Definite Lady are open to improvement. An Capall Mor doesn't need to improve much on his form in Ireland to figure and Crowning Jewel also has decent claims, while Perth winner Bury Parade will make a bold bid to defy his penalty. But a tentative vote goes to SECRET PAST, who was well backed on his debut at Towcester and probably wasn't suited by forcing the pace at Warwick on his second start. He may be worth another chance.
