Verdict
A tricky-looking handicap featuring a number of progressive three year olds. Heart Of Lions was impressive enough when winning a Lingfield maiden and a strong run race should suit him. Dubai's Secret put in a solid effort when winning at Leicester last time and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him follow up, Flyboy looked to have plenty in hand when winning a handicap at Haydock last week, and Defrocked could also feature if he settles better this time. But the least exposed horse in the field looks the most interesting. NEXT STAGE was an expensive recruit for Godolphin but put his maiden to bed in some style in November and could prove to be a cut above these.
