Verdict
PRIVATE SECRETARY will likely prove a warm order for the Gosden yard on his return to action. The half-brother to St Leger third Michelangelo will appreciate this extra distance having ended last year with a second over a mile at Nottingham. Entrusting made his debut on the same card at Nottingham and should also do better over this longer trip while Sinjaari has switched to William Haggas since last summer’s modest debut effort at Sandown. The four-year-old bumper winner Basildon debuts in this code while the €145,000 purchase Royal Sands is a newcomer to note along with Itchingham Lofte.
