      Verdict

      Holley Shiftwell and Secret Of Success are both open to further progress off their current marks and Hit The Lights coped well enough with the drop back to 5f at Newcastle last time and is not easily dismissed. Borough Boy is upped in class after a second at Leicester while Clock Opera and Seven Of Clubs usually find at least one too good and it could be a similar story here. OSCARS JOURNEY ran out of steam on his reappearance at Bath but ended last season with a double over the minimum trip. John Jenkins' charge gets a speculative vote in an open sprint with that pipe-opener under his belt.
