      Verdict

      Almalekiah will have come on for her recent second at Lingfield and drops back in trip today. HOT SECRET also finished runner-up at Kempton last time but over today's distance in better company than this. Andrew Balding's filly gets the nod ahead of Silverrica, who was still beaten over four lengths when second here last month. Harbour Captain makes his handicap debut and is preferred to last season's Wolverhampton winner Smart Daisy K of the others.
