Verdict
The first nursery of the season which will generate delight or despair depending on punting tastes. The advice is certainly to tread carefully in opening skirmishes and SECRET APPLAUSE is only a tentative choice here. The selection was impressive when making all at Newcastle and gets the vote primarily due to the presence of the talented Connor Beasley taking the ride as his 7lb claim will prove invaluable in such contests. Corncockle made no show in the Queen Mary and has plenty on at the weights so Green Run looks the likelier of the Hannon pair. Centre Haafhd was always in control when coming on from his debut to score at Hamilton and looks an improver for the shrewd David Barron.
