Secret Session looks to be giving connections a few headaches regarding his best distance. A close-up third on his debut over 7f, he was well beaten over a mile last time and drops back to 6f today. Can You Conga failed to land the odds at Newcastle having made a promising start on the all-weather but it's too soon to write him off and Emerald Sea can do better this year. FLOATING ALONG has her first start since going within a short-head of winning at Kempton in November. Any improvement on that should see her off the mark and Willie Haggas' filly gets the nod.
