Richard Fahey has won this twice in recent years and has three entries. Johnny B Goode is on a hat-trick and Heaven's Secret won very well at Wolverhampton but the trainer has revealed that George Bowen has been working well at home and he could be the pick of the trio, despite being behind Johnny B Goode at Goodwood. He was also a couple of lengths behind Son Of Africa on the same track earlier where he didn't get the clearest of runs so should reverse that form on these terms. Rachel Richardson brought Tim Easterby's HONEYSUCKLE LIL (NAP) with a well-timed run to beat better-fancied rivals at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. The stable has won two of the last three and with plenty of scope for further progress she's taken to complete a quick double. Enlace has ben a beaten favourite three times since her successful debut but it wouldn't be a shock to see her bounce back while Roossey could go well as he hasn't been beaten far in both starts since scoring at Ripon, including at York last time when Geordie George finished just in front of him.
