Verdict
Seas Of Elzaam was engaged in the 1.48 Leicester yesterday but Mick Appleby has a solid alternative in MERRY SECRET, who has found only one too good in a couple of outings since taking a seller over 7f at Leicester. Bombastic scored over an extra furlong here last month but Secret Handsheikh was a winner twice over this trip at Southwell at the start of the year and has been competing over 5f recently.
