Verdict
Villemacho was slowly away on debut at Doncaster in April but hasn’t been seen since. Secret Mistral can be forgiven her latest run at Chester having won earlier at Haydock. Not For Profit never figured in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time but this is far less competitive. However, he has to concede 12lb to the progressive EXPEDITIOUS (NAP) who looks the form pick on her latest second at Salisbury ahead of the Carlisle runner-up Act Of Will.
