In depth
Verdict
Arthurs Secret easily won a Musselburgh maiden last month but the second has disappointed since. Getabuzz ran his best race for a while when second at Sedgefield and is well treated on last season's form but Luddsdenene changed hands after finishing second at Stratford last week and Lucky Jim, second over course and distance on his penultimate outing, was tailed off next time at Southwell. WATT BRODERICK (NAP), who is fit from a campaign on the all-weather, beat Rock A Doodle Do here just under a year ago and could be worth an interest today having been dropped a couple of pounds since his latest fifth over timber as Mike McCann turned in a shocker when tried in a handicap at Leopardstown last month.
