        Verdict

        Franco's Secret, Loyalty and Tatting all won earlier in the year but have been beaten off higher marks subsequently. The same comment applies to Chelwood Gate but he still went close at Lingfield last time when a length ahead of SUBTLE KNIFE. The latter was not beaten far over track and trip before that and it could be her turn today. Party Royal was all out to win over 1m2f here last week but is penalised for that success while the return to a mile will also suit Purple Sage and she can figure.
