Verdict

A tricky finale which sees Somewhere Secret bid to follow up last week’s Haydock victory under a penalty. Union Rose has been getting closer but has been raised 2lb since her latest second at Bath and she finished behind Jaganory at the same track earlier. SECRETFACT dropped into this grade at Lingfield and was only beaten a neck. His turn may have come around again even though he is still 4lb higher than for his last win on Turf. A Sure Welcome, another course winner, is also respected.
