Verdict

Veiled Secret has switched stables since last seen finishing second at Market Rasen in October but he would probably go close if fully wound-up, though preference is for ARIZONA GLORY. The top weight was keeping on when fourth at Chepstow last month behind a subsequent winner. Grand Coureur is consistent but lacks a bit of scope with a similar comment applying to Hold Me Tight and Goldencard
