Verdict
Secret Handsheikh was only beaten a neck at Yarmouth a week ago and Luke Catton takes off 5lb today. Joy Choi has been raised 4lb for dead-heating at Salisbury but Malcolm Saunders’ mare is in good form. A winner here in the spring, CLUEDO missed the break at Doncaster earlier this month but still got into contention at halfway only to weaken in the closing stages. She's preferred to Confederation, though the top weight arguably produced a career-best here latest so can’t be ignored.
