In depth
Verdict
Sixties Secret is hard to fancy but Dubawi Meeznah’s dam won over 1m6f and she’s worth a second glance. Lady Baker stayed on at the one-pace after losing the lead over 1m4f at Newbury and should last home but a chance is taken on MAYBE TODAY. The latter takes a big step up in trip having made a winning start over 1m2f at Windsor but Simon Crisford’s filly only found top gear in the last half-furlong and this extra distance shouldn’t be a problem on that evidence.
