Secret Witness won over 6f here earlier this month and only went down by a neck to stablemate Judge 'n Jury over C&D 24 hours later. Providing those exploits haven't taken too much out of him, the top weight could figure in this despite a 5lb higher mark. Others look better handicapped, however, with LEXI'S HERO particularly interesting. It could be a good day for followers of Kieren Fallon and Kevin Ryan's gelding is back on a decent mark judged on his staying-on fourth at Chester where he had veteran Tax Free behind. Tommy Stack's mare Celerina had a number of today's rivals behind when third in this race 12 months ago but is 7lb higher now while Dancing Freddy is better on the Fibresand. The three-year-old Vocational looks high enough in the weights.
