In depth

Verdict

Master Of Song drops back in trip off a 3lb higher mark than when scoring over 1m4f at Southwell in November. MILLY'S SECRET makes more appeal given her tumble down the weights and the fact that most of today's opposition are hard to fancy. That includes Focail Mear, placed at Kempton in between a couple of distinctly modest efforts, and Nouvelle Ere, second at Lingfield back in November but well beaten since.
