VENTURA SECRET hasn't won for a long time but has scored twice around here from much higher marks and looked ready to get back on the score-sheet when beaten just a neck at Hamilton. Cosmic Chatter is the other course winner in the line-up and he bounced back to form at Pontefract last week but the in-form Ticks The Boxes was a couple of lengths in front. The latter should get into the frame while Firsteen would have an obvious chance on last month's run at Ayr, though she meets soft ground for the first time. The three-year-old Caustic Love is making her handicap debut and hasn't run since January.
