In depth
Verdict
The form of FORBIDDEN SECRET’s second to Showalong at Redcar received a boost when the winner landed a Class 3 over 5f at York last week. Michael Dods’ charge will know more today and his yard had a welcome winner on the Knavesmire on Saturday. Castana Dia is probably the form pick on her third on fast ground at Yarmouth but looked as though she already needed another furlong that day. Snap Out of It is more speedily bred that the likes of Loyal Havana and Bravado but Acquisitor hasn’t been getting home.
