Verdict
SECRET SECRET (NAP) won in a hack canter over course and distance less than three weeks ago. The handicapper, unsurprisingly, took a dim view of that but Charlotte Jones takes off 3lb again and it would be no surprise to see Jimmy Moffatt’s seven-year-old win for the third time in four outings. Hattons Gardens may need this but You Some Girl was leading when falling two out at Sedgefield and a case can also be made for the maiden Eden Mill, not beaten far here last time, and Hexham runner-up Bouncing Bobby.
