Secret Witness was beaten only a head at Goodwood last time and has every chance on that form. But he hasn’t won since 2012 while Kaaber’s earlier win at Nottingham was his only success so far in 19 attempts. TONI’S A STAR went close the last time he raced in this lowly grade. Dropped in class today, Tony Carroll’s charge may be the one to side with. Triple Dream landed a double on the all-weather back in May but hasn’t won on Turf since 2013, hence a much lower mark on this surface.
