Verdict

None of these can be recommended with any confidence. SECRET APPLAUSE went close in better company at Carlisle on her penultimate start. If she's in the mood to repeat that, she should figure again. It was soft ground when Bearskin won a maiden at Ripon while Sleeper Class has failed to threaten since winning at Ayr in May. Autumn Tide scored over 5f at the same track earlier this month but looks best over that trip, as does Raise A Billion.
