      Verdict

      Lewis Walsh steered TOMMY'S SECRET to a hard-fought victory over 7f here last week and though his mount is penalised his claim takes care of the extra and another furling looks just what's required so he can complete a quick double. Pretty Bubbles has only run three times on Turf and scored at Newbury though that was on soft ground and some rain would help. The veteran Jonnie Skull will be having his 151st race and has won 17 times, the vast majority of them on this track. He's 10lb lower than his last winning mark on the Flat and is a definite contender. Ela Goog La Mou looks a threat as she made most under Rosie Jessop here in April and is just 3lb higher. Handheld has won twice in the UK, both times under Shelley Birkett, and Julia Fielden's charge has been racing in better company so he's another to respect in a tricky little handicap.
