Rio Cobolo has crept back up the weights despite not winning but SECRET CITY is moving in the opposite direction. The latter won off a 4lb higher mark last year and will have come on for a recent reappearance at Newcastle. The Mongoose and Vale Of Clara have bits of form on the all-weather that could see them figure and Alluring Star will be taking advantage of a slip down the weights before long. Mysterious Wonder scored at Hamilton in September and is 3lb higher today.
