Verdict
SECRET LOOK has caught the eye in both runs this term. He won over 6f here last year so the track isn't going to be a problem and Franny Norton can get his head home in front again. New Fforest ran well over course and distance last month, when Jillnextdoor finished behind, before disappointing at Windsor. He has plenty of speed and should be a factor again but Space Artist looks held by the selection on York running, as do Dutch Masterpiece and Threes Grand. Layla's Oasis was a consistent sort as a juvenile but hasn't raced since January.
