In depth
Verdict
A few imponderables and stakes are best kept to a minimum for the better races towards the end of the card. However, those who are willing to take the plunge on Secret Flutter following up last month's victory at Uttoxeter should get a run for their money. He finished that race full of running and easily out-gunned some modest opposition. He faces a stiffer test today but the likes of Lord Fernando, Fireside Legend and Max's Micro could hardly be called consistent and Mark Bradburne's mount is taken to continue his winning ways here. Robbie Can Can may give him the most to do.
