Verdict
Atomise may be running into form again but Secret Strength is best on Polytrack. Kit Gabriel has only run over this trip once before and was well beaten. An open-looking contest can go to BELL SHOT, who won over track and trip two runs ago before finishing a close-up third over 6f at Windsor. Attache needs faster ground and is inconsistent while Dark Swansong has been creeping up the weights without winning. Next Chapter is unexposed and easily landed the odds at Redcar but this is a lot more competitive.
