SECRET INTERLUDE won over 6f here in November and went close again when third over track and trip on her penultimate start. She gets the nod reunited with winning partner Joe Fanning for this. Intimately has returned a losing favourite on his last two starts now and Nouvelli Dancer may prove a bigger threat dropping back down in trip on only her second start in a handicap. Romancingthestone has place claims back over 7f off her current mark and Cappy Brown continues to slip down the weights.
