      Verdict

      HIGH SECRET made a winning return stepped up to 1m4f at Newcastle. Sir Mark Prescott's charge can defy a penalty with plenty more to come on only his fifth start. Reach The Beach went close again at Chepstow having won at Ffos Las earlier but would prefer some cut while Noor Al Haya's recent course win came over 2m1f with Lucky Diva well beaten. Tunnel Tiger has been running well at Brighton and is preferred to River Du Nord, who has done all her winning so far in Jersey.
