My Secrets gets the nod over Stringsofmyheart and Dansimar, while Moonwalking is also worth considering and makes appeal as an adventurous option for a cover bet. Moonwalking has struggled with the handicapper and since winning a maiden auction at Ayr last June. She has been a victim of her own consistency and her form figures do not tell the whole story. The daughter of Danehill Dancer has faced some stiff tests, so may well appreciate this slight ease in grade. Dansimar has shown flashes of ability and it is unfeasible to think that Mick Channon cannot place her to good effect. It may simply be a case of chipping away at the options with her and she may have to wait for another day to lose her maiden tag. Stringsofmyheart picks up 6lb extra for her win here nine days ago, but she may have enough in the locker to rise to the challenge. The faster ground seems to have helped her and she is sure to post a bold attempt if running to form. However, preference goes to My Secrets, who has been crying out for a crack at this trip and, considering Mark Johnston's record when stepping one up in distance, all the signs are positive for this son of Fantastic Light.
