In depth

Verdict

A tough race to call and provides a real headache for punters in the getting out stakes. However, Sharp Secret arrives here in fair form and is narrowly selected over top weight Magic Amour and Vermillion Creek - although Indian Shores comes here fresher than most and cannot be ruled out after a light campaign. Mehmaas is another that has claims on the pick of his form and could go well for each way punters. But Lisa Jones has built up a good working relationship with Sharp Secret and the partnership look worthy on giving another chance to here. The fact that Sharp Secret has also dropped back to a handy mark despite going close on numerous occasions is another plus beside her name and, with her jockey in flying form at present, the College Chapel mare can round off Nottingham's season in fine style.
