Race statistics show that middle-to-high numbers have the call here and Charlotte's Secret is well berthed to make his presence felt as he was staying on over 7f here last time. SNOWAY was beaten in a seller at Thirsk but this isn't much better and, as she's another with a decent draw, she's handed the vote. Old Fashion has a low draw to overcome and ran poorly at Wolverhampton last month while Robben is also poorly berthed and disappointed on the same track, though may not have been suited by the new surface. Hold Firm would have been the selection if he'd been drawn anywhere but stall one and the market should be watched closely as many of the remainder are having their first handicap starts after the requisite three maiden runs.
