Verdict

Merry Secret wasn’t beaten far here attempting to land a hat-trick of 7f victories and steps up in trip along with most of these including SEA OF CHARM. The latter is from a family of middle-distance winners and with improvement expected now handicapping having finished runner-up over 7f here, Harry Dunlop’s filly can open her account. Ronan Accuser is fitted with headgear having failed to show much progress on his handicap debut but Galeophobia is creeping closer and Belle Rouge is worth a second glance on her return to action.
