Verdict
GREEK SECRET, Soto and Wiltshire are the main players here, with Greek Secret, in good heart now, the selection. Soto is something of an enigma, but he has run a series of solid races recently. It is two years since he was last successful however, and although the yard had a surprise success on Sunday, he is taken on. Wiltshire is nothing like as consistent, but his performance at Catterick recently was eye-catching, staying on to good effect to be second. However, he too has not been in the winners¿ enclosure for well over a year, and it may be tempting fate to suggest he is going to remedy that situation here. Greek Secret needed every yard of the minimum trip to score at Beverley last time, beating a well backed favourite in so doing. He overcame trouble in running that day, and only 3lbs higher here, he will have no problem with the extra furlong on this easier track, and Greek Secret can score again.
