Franco's Secret was beaten less than a length in a similar event here a week ago but had finished behind third-placed MAJOR CRISPIES over track and trip earlier. The latter has since been beaten in a higher grade at Chelmsford but gets another chance in this. Exalted has been running well over 7f here recently but is a dual course and distance winner and not out of this while Harry Holland scored off today’s mark here in March and also has a shout. Quality Song drops back in distance today but St Patrick's Day recorded his earlier double at Southwell and Abareeq continues to struggle.
