Colebrooke came good over C&D last time, easily beating the filly Hi Note despite being heavily eased in the closing stages. He may well be improving and should have no trouble confirming that running with the second today, despite the revised terms, but we still prefer SECRET EDGE. The latter looked as though he was in need of further when third to Hinterland in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month having won a Listed contest at Wetherby previously. Reggie Perrin had Dr Darcey behind when runner-up at Folkestone three weeks ago and may be the pick of the remainder.
