First Secretary's victory at Bath came on fast ground in a poor contest so she looks a bit high in the weights. Polar Forest is still a maiden but getting closer and has been racing over trips too short. Young Jay has been looking one-paced and may do better over further while Nile Knight has appeared to be suited by sharper tracks than this. NONOTNOW has only had four runs and was staying on strongly at the finish at Ripon last time after getting outpaced so this stiffer track will be in his favour and he looks the one to be on.
