Verdict

SECRETARY made a winning handicap debut when scoring over 7f at Chelmsford. She’s switched to Mick Appleby’s yard and may well defy a 2lb rise over this extra distance. Grand Central disappointed last time but had earlier placed at Wolverhampton when ahead of both Sprezzatura and Quizlet while Leap Year Lad will be sharper for a recent reappearance having placed off a higher mark last term.
