Secret Ambition has gone close on several occasions but this is the furthest he's been asked to go so far and he weakened quickly over 6f at Pontefract in July. York Minster's only success came over a mile but he was tailed off over that trip at Ffos Las last month. Mrs Bojangles needs to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester but there are possibilities about Motdaw while Long Island was second over course and distance in August. BEATBYBEATBYBEAT found a nice turn of foot to get up close home in a Redcar maiden last month and a follow up could be on the cards with Thomas Brown again taking off 3lb.
