Verdict
Smokey is upped in class and raised a further 5lb after landing a hat-trick over the minimum trip while Secretfact found one too good once again at Kempton last time. BIG LACHIE has slid back down the weights and after finishing in front of Klopp when third at Newcastle, Mark Loughnane’s charge can return to winning ways. Shamshon landed this in 2018 but hasn’t won for over a year now and the less exposed May The Sixth is preferred back at this venue having won a novices race here last month.
