In depth
Verdict
Hat-trick seeking Secret Vision should be able to over come a bad starting position with Strathclyde and Urban Calm both worth noting. The selection has won on both the Southwell and Wolverhamton surfaces and now bids to win for the first time on the Pollytrack. With confidence on his side and with limited opposition to compete against Secret Vision should find himself in the winners enclosure once more. Strathclyde has not won for over two years and that was in a class C handicap around Ascot. He has come down in grade some what since then and now finds himself in banded company so has to be respected. As does Urban Calm who was quick enough to win over five furlongs at Wolverhamton back in the summer but has failed to recapture his old form of late but if doing so would be a live contender. So for the winner we return to Secret Vision.
