Verdict
SEXY SECRET won a higher grade handicap at Yarmouth last month and Lydia Pearce’s charge should go close again raised only 3lb given he had a subsequent winner back in third. First Summer looks a threat on his recent second at Nottingham when beaten less than a length and Capelena is closely matched with the selection on earlier running. Nifty Kier won over a mile at Bath last month but Gunner Moyne is preferred on his earlier placed effort over today’s trip at Lingfield.
