OHSOSECRET (NAP) was only beaten a head by Threave over course and distance last month and is now 5lb better off. Stuart Williams' filly has won since at Chelmsford, when Red Invader was behind, and there is no reason why she shouldn't reverse the form today with the top weight. Jo Crowley's seven-year-old is still preferred to fellow hat-trick seeker Valmina, however. The latter's trainer also runs By Rights but she's been very disappointing since finishing second at Haydock in June. Pensax Lad and Monsieur Jamie aren't out of this but Whitecrest looks held on the form book.
