In another tricky handicap, My Secrets is selected ahead of Filios and Paymaster General. Arctic Wings is a potential improver at today's trip, Doubly Guest comes here on the back of a Pontefract win and could go well following her reassessment. Filios's form looks solid as her conqueror two runs ago, Malyana, won at Epsom during the week. Maid To Believe was found out in Listed class last time but would hold claims on earlier maiden-winning promise. The drop in trip from a fair Warwick run last time is expected to see My Secrets in a better light, while Paymaster General has got it together of late on the all-weather and can go well back on Turf. River Deuce is a potential improver and Urban Warrior does not have much to find with him based on a recent all-weather meeting. Of course, given that it is a three-year-old handicap, there are others that could improve this time around but, for the selection, we will stick with My Secrets.
