Verdict
SANDRA’S SECRET was only beaten a length when stepped up in class at York last time and will not be far away if running up to the same level here. Flicka's Boy finished ahead of Burtonwood when going close at Beverley and should be in the mix while Hilary J made a winning handicap debut over 6f at Thirsk and could go well again. Eternitys Gate won here in June when Royal Brave was fourth and is only 2lb higher but Mr Orange has been raised 5lb for his recent win at the track, though the race has worked out well with both placed horses having won since.
