LEAD STORY, a winner at Lingfield in March, couldn't get to the winner at Doncaster last time but was conceding 7lb and is probably still on the upgrade. She can go one better. Merry Secret completed a double on Polytrack in February and hasn't run badly here in the past while Estad has shown ability in maidens and makes his handicap debut. The latter's stablemate Cometh The Man ran easily his best race to date when beaten a head here in April but the main threat looks to be Camerily Joe, a winner at Wolverhampton in April and placed in both starts at Ripon subsequently. The Frankel filly Lochnaver has been mainly confined to the all-weather and looks high in the weights on what she's achieved.
