SECRET STATE, a 525,000 yearling, couldn't match strides with Francesco Clemente in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket but will be much better suited by this longer trip and can go one better. Asean Legend is by Australia so he'll also be suited by stepping up in distance while Honiton will improve for his run at Newbury where he stayed on late over the mile. Berkshire Breeze ran well over 1m3f on the latter track but will need to find more here.
