      Verdict

      Secondo has been beaten in Wolverhampton sellers the last twice though this isn’t much better. MAXIMUM POWER hadn’t shown much until a better run here last month when attempting to make all. He hasn’t had much racing and a similar effort should see him go one better. Miracle Garden is on a long losing run though is gradually dropping to a winnable mark and is greatly respected but Just For The Craic hasn’t run since November 2017 and is likely o need this. African Blessing is 7lb higher than when scoring at Chelmsford in January.
