In depth
Verdict
Charming's latest poor effort came only two days after she scored over track and trip. She'll go close if back to her best but it could pay to stick with SECRET MILLIONAIRE. The latter landed a plunge when bouncing back to form over course and distance last week and remains well treated on his best form despite a penalty. Sherjawy has plenty to find with the selection while Putin finished well ahead of Liberal Lady when fourth here last time. Greenhead High was winning at this time last year but is hard to fancy on his recent below par efforts.
