    Verdict

    Secretfact and Fethiye Boy scored over track and trip last year and both are back on winning marks though not in the best of form. Defining Moment remains 5lb higher than last season’s success at Yarmouth and never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Lingfield recently. But POWERFUL DREAM (NAP) placed at the same meeting at Lingfield last time and having won off higher marks here in the past, it could the turn of Ron Harris’ charge once again. Blitz has yet to threaten this year but drops in class today and may finish closer.
