Last year's winner SANDRA'S SECRET was impressive when scoring at Pontefract under an enterprising ride. A 4lb rise is undemanding and offset by the rider's claim. She should be hard to beat from a handy draw. Point Of Woods has place prospects back in this grade, whilst Hilary J and Spirit Of Wedza would have claims if able to get on the front end.
