    Verdict

    Like A Prayer was well backed to open his account on his handicap debut at Kempton and duly obliged. He has scope for further progress despite carrying a penalty in this higher grade. SECRET SUSPECT is also lightly-raced having returned to action with victory in a Wolverhampton maiden. The runner-up has since boosted the form by winning and James Tate's filly gets the nod. Ain't No Surprise makes a quick reappearance after landing a seller at Wolverhampton on Monday and Power Up's recent form looks stronger than that of Upholland.
