Skidby Mill only beat Almanack a nose over track and trip here last Thursday and now has a penalty. The runner-up should reverse that form and makes more appeal than Candesta, another to have finished second here recently, and Lingfield fourth Polar Kite, though that one drops down a grade. TOMMY’S SECRET has managed just the one win in nine previous starts here but is rarely beaten far and the grey’s turn may have come around again. It’s possible that Swiftee and Premier Currency are a little better than they’ve shown so far but most of the others arrive out of form.
