Tommy's Secret finished almost five lengths ahead of Derulo on the Polytrack earlier this month and the latter is only 2lb better off. Bognor reserves his best for Fibresand nowadays but is potentially well treated back on Turf. Best Kept, however, has only made the frame once in six tries on this surface and returns from a break. CELTIC SIXPENCE took this 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark. She would probably have won at Doncaster on Saturday had Alice Mills not mistook the winning post and it's unlikely that Michael Stainton will make the same mistake here. Jersey Brown was a consistent sort in this grade last year and looks the pick of the remainder.
