Henley faces a much tougher task after a winning at Pontefract last week and Sandra's Secret also carries 6lb extra for winning over track and trip recently. Captain Colby disappointed last time having gone close at Newmarket earlier while Gin In The Inn won here before finishing nearer last at York when Tomily was also well beaten. PIPERS NOTE (NAP) was beaten at York before winning last year’s renewal and is following a similar pattern. Ruth Carr’s sprinter has slid back down the weights since and should make another bold bid off his current mark.
