In depth
Verdict
Secret Strength had little chance in Group 2 company last time and makes his handicap debut but Eternal Glory remains 8lb higher than when scoring over track and trip in July. Chelsea Annie recorded her novice win over 7f at Ayr but KIT GABRIEL was only beaten a length over today’s trip at Windsor last time and is taken to make a winning handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces. Sir Min has switched yards since unseating at Chester and is preferred to Stripzee.
