Verdict
The likes of Rosseti and If I Were A Boy look in the handicapper's grip but Leicester winner Rutherglen may be capable of better stepping up in trip. Still, a trio of lightly-raced sorts may end up fighting this one out and a couple of them represent Hughie Morrison. Jockey bookings for Conquestadim and Aiyana don't offer any clues as they're partnered by Richard Hughes and William Buick respectively for their handicap debuts so it could pay to stick with FIRST SECRETARY in this. The latter opened her account when stepped up to today's trip at Bath and there looks more to come from her over middle-distances.
