Verdict
SECRET AGENT, right back to form at Lingfield last time when just reeled in late on, makes plenty of appeal off an attractive handicap mark of 60. He's taken time to rediscover his form but a repeat of that latest improvement will see him in contention at the business end. Nampara, only beaten a length in her hat-trick attempt on Sunday, rates a leading contender against her elders, whilst the reliable and consistent Searanger, beaten by the minimum margin last time at Catterick, is also short-list material. At Your Service went close on his first start for the Howling yard last month and cannot be discounted, despite a 9lb rise for two recent much-improved efforts.
