SECRET INTERLUDE beat Break Free and Silver Springs when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and went close again over 7f at the same track when ahead of Romancingthestone. Jamie Osborne's charge gets the vote on that form. Rupert Boy has been getting closer and found only one too good over track and trip last time while Spirit of Zebedee was second in this grade at Redcar on his penultimate start and makes most appeal of the remainder.
