        Verdict

        Secret Witness is consistent but proving hard to win with and so we will take him on here with BEAT THE BELL, while Orpsie Boy and Step It Up are others short-listed. The selection first, however, and Jamie Osborne's five-year-old returned from a break with a really good effort in the context of this race, when runner-up here over course and distance. He remains on the same mark for this race and should be straighter for it, so we will give him another chance. Secret Witness has to be taken seriously and has been beaten no more than two-and-a-quarter lengths in each of his last seven starts. He goes well here despite not having won at the track but from today's mark we will take him on. Orpsie Boy represents a yard going well and is very gradually slipping in the weights, but his current mark still looks on the prohibitive side and we will oppose today. Step It Up has dropped to a very handy mark and acts well here, but against specialist 6f performers he will have his work cut out to get home. Halsion Chancer loves it here and looks well handicapped on old form, though he has struggled to recapture that and we prefer the claims of Beat The Bell.
