Exist ended last year with a maiden win at Windsor and can figure while Semra finished runner-up on her handicap debut earlier this month and has been upped 4lb. PUSEY’S SECRET had obviously made great strides during the close-season as she returned to action with a five-length romp in a maiden race at Bath. It could pay to stick with John Gallagher’s filly in this. Serradura made a winning start at Newbury in July while Black Bess finished ahead of Silver Springs when second over track and trip last time.
