SECRET INTERLUDE has obvious claims of following up a recent course win as she returned a cosy winner over 6f last time with both Ormanumps and Edith Weston behind. Cool Crescendo never looked like catching Kingsley Klarion at Chelmsford but the latter has since won again while Romancingthestone finished closer at the same track last time having slipped down the weights. Bahamian Boy is another on the slide and may do better over this longer trip but the remainder are harder to fancy.
