Another competitive event with Poet's Dawn on bottom weight despite a penalty for his recent Beverley success. Secret Army was having only his fifth start when scoring at Chelmsford where he was always travelling like a winner. He's up 6lb but looks progressive enough to make a bold bid. Galiac had Bringitonboris and Double Dealing close behind when runner-up in one of these races at Newcastle and should confirm the form though this can go to CITY RUNNER (NAP). Brian Meehan's colt, a winner here in January, had been racing in strong handicap company before beating three rivals at Sandown then did even better when placed in the lucrative Sky Bet Mile at York.
