Skiddaw Secret had Tobetall a couple of lengths behind in a 1m5f Wetherby bumper last month and there appears no reason for a form reversal despite the longer trip. Helena Of Troy showed improvement from her opening effort to chase home Mr Jay Dee at Southwell and should make further progress but it would be no surprise if this went to a newcomer and AMERICAN LOVER fits the bill on breeding. John Wainwright's filly is a half-sister to two Flat winners and should have the pace for this.
