In depth

Verdict

Abajany has dropped back to a winning mark but has not won for a while now. Cereus has not gone on from his Chester win last September but the handicapper is now beginning to relent. Another Secret is three pounds higher than for her Leicester win on good to soft last October, while Salty Jack is more than capable of putting up a good show in this.
