        Verdict

        Secret Ambition will find this tougher than his recent success at Brighton and third-placed Motdaw has a chance of reversing running on today's revised terms. But CROARA has improved with every run so far and Marco Botti's filly can build on her latest second on the Turf at Lingfield to land this. Others who ran well last time include Chelmsford third Gaspirali and Catterick runner-up Inaam but handicap debutante Party Thyme is preferred to both on her narrow defeat at Beverley last month.
