        Verdict

        Somewhere Secret is an obvious starting point after finding improved form on recent starts and another prominent showing is expected as he's only 7lb higher for his last two victories. However, he is taken on with VENTURA SECRET (NAP), who performed with real credit here last month when runner-up in a large-field sprint despite a troubled passage. His previous runner-up effort behind Queen Of Kalahari also reads well and he's taken to go one better with Paula Muir booked. Prestbury Park was a little below par at Ayr but his three previous runs bring him very much into contention, whilst Cameo Star could also contend at his best returned to sprint company.
