Leicester winner Secret Potion failed to cope with a penalty at Bath and is still shouldering 5lb extra here. Compton Poppy is 4lb higher than when scoring over course and distance last month and Spot Lite races off a higher mark than when second at Ffos Las. VALENTINO SUNRISE (NAP) has gone close the last twice off similar marks and has his ground this evening so Mick Channon’s three-year-old looks the one to beat with Pearl Of Qatar possibly more effective over an extra furlong.
