Mr Fustic landed a double at Wolverhampton before disappointing at Epsom while Mr Trick’s earlier success at Haydock came over a shorter trip on soft going. Eikonix drops down in distance having placed over 1m2f but SECRET ARMY has more scope than most. The latter made his handicap debut in a tougher race than this at Goodwood and will appreciate the return to this surface having placed here in maiden company.
