In depth
Verdict
Secret Art has been competing at a high level since completing a double on the track in the spring though is now looking a bit high in the weights. Azzeccagarbugli won no less than 11 races in Italy, including at Listed level, and made a very promising start in a handicap at this level here last month. Tricorn has only had three runs this season but has been unable to replicate his fine three-year-old form but Hugo Palmer has his horses in excellent shape and CORROSIVE can continue the trend as he had been in cracking form before York ,where he didn't get the run of the race. Moqarrab has only had four starts and scored twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton but Georgian Manor disappointed on his first start over a mile at Pontefract.
