Jeremy Glover's Plume de Ma Tante ran better than expected in a Catterick maiden on her debut when sent off at 66/1 but finding just Jack Smudge too good and she has to be respected. Brian Meehan's juveniles tend to improve for their first start so improvement can be anticipated from Secret Gold but she will need to improve to get the better of BARKING. Richard Hannon's colt has earned a rating of 72 following placed efforts in each of his last three outings and he can gain an overdue success. Luca Cumani's lightly raced Fimias and Ed McMahon's Look Who's Kool are others worthy of a mention but it is hard to get away from Barking.
