Verdict
Barista recorded his first win on the all-weather in 14 attempts when scoring at Southwell and is upped 6lb. Tommy's Secret went close here last month and has a shout on that form but was behind runner-up REBEL STATE and fourth-placed Pacific Salt over track and trip before that. The former finished second again at Kempton last time and Richard Spencer’s charge gets another chance in this. Wasseem is getting no closer despite slipping down the weights and thogh Anjuna Beach was in good form early this year he hasn’t raced since April.
