Verdict
Having dead-heated for first over track and trip, FRANCO'S SECRET went close again at Kempton a week ago. He gets only a tentative vote off the same mark given he is closely matched with Malaysian Boleh on running at this venue, though he should confirm superiority over Stormbound. Club House ran well again when third here last time but was less than a length ahead of Pearl Ransom and that pair are also hard to separate.
