      Verdict

      Golden Easter returns to action having finished runner-up at Wolverhampton in August and has joined Robert Cowell since. But SECRET STRATEGY has the more recent form having found only one too good over track and trip on his penultimate start and he gets the nod. Lambrini Legacy finished behind the selection here and never threatened the winner when second at Yarmouth on his latest outing but is still preferred to both Ballysampson and General Gerrard.
