In depth
Verdict
The drop back to 1m2f seemed to suit FRONT RUN at Nottingham last time. He went close to catching Trader Jack and an apprentice's allowance negates a 3lb rise. Sexy Secret is upped 5lb for finishing second at Brighton so recent Kempton winner Estibdaad makes more appeal off his new mark. Chantecler chased home Noguchi in a claimer at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but will find today's trip short enough.
