Verdict

Regent's Secret gets the call here ahead of Neil's Legacy and Stolen Glance. Regent's Secret took advantage of a falling mark to score at Carlisle two runs ago and this course and distance winner remains well treated based on his best form of 2006. He can go well. Stolen Glance seems a fraction above a winning mark at present, and Gala Sunday now races from a winning mark, although his more-recent racecourse efforts temper enthusiasm. Money for Irish import Nans Lady could be interesting, while course and distance winner Flylowflylong is entitled to some thought from his current mark. Neil's Legacy provided Linda Perratt with a welcome winner six days ago and, with the adage 'follow a mare in form' coming to mind, she cannot be ruled out under her penalty, but Sarraaf might ideally prefer the going to dry out a good bit. Finally, Greyfriars Abbey could go well on his handicap bow but, for the seelction, we will stick with Regent's Secret.
