Simply has scope for further progress after a better effort at Kempton last time while Mabel's Song is another lightly-raced type who may figure on her handicap bow. Musically has claims on her best form though she's hard to predict but Gallego hasn't looked like staying this far in numerous attempts. The tentative vote in a poor handicap goes to SPRING SECRET, third at Ffos Las in testing ground on his latest start and dropping down a grade here.
