A good race in prospect here and plenty of them come here with solid claims. Not least Amberliegh House, Excellent Vibes and the old man of the party Random Harvest, who still thrives on racing despite pushing on towards his fifteenth year. However, Sadler's Secret returns to the scene of his last racecourse victory and has solid claims on these terms despite being set to give weight to all bar one of his rivals. The eight-year-old has gone well when freshened up by a break in the past and has been given plenty of time to get over a blow-out at Bangor a couple of months ago. However, he is better judged on the effort that saw him master a useful field here on decent ground at the start of last term and looks the percentage call in this company. All his rivals have questions to answer on one subject or another and the eight-year-old can capitalise if any of them turn up here not ready to do themselves justice in tricky race to call.
