Verdict
Sharp Secret is a rare runner for trainer Mark Johnston in this company and warrants respect although disappointing in similar company at Windsor last time. Speedfit Free showed respectable form on the all-weather during the winter months and would have claims if able to translate sand form back on turf. With the William Haggas stable in good form, Premier Ambitions is worthy of a mention, while Ginner Morris would appreciate any further softening of the ground.
