dwelt pushed along, always in rear
tracked leaders, ridden over 3f out, effort to press winner 2f out, edged left and kept on one pace final furlong
always towards rear, ridden 2f out, never on terms

David's Secret is making steady progress with a recent third over 7f at this track his best effort so far. He finished less than a length ahead of LUCKY MOUNTAIN on that occasion but, as that was the latter's first outing, Ed Dunlop's charge is expected to improve and reverse running. Aussie Lyrics made a decent start when fourth at Leicester and makes more appeal than recent C&D fourth Paddy's Saltantes while Aegean Whispers could prove best of the newcomers.
