    Verdict

    Polish Crown got off the mark in a Wolverhampton maiden on her reappearance and is a leading contender back in handicap company. She makes more appeal than Modern Lady, who usually finds at least one too good and is getting no respite from the handicapper as a consequence. Eastern Dragon made a decent reappearance when stepped up to a mile at Wolverhampton and is not certain to appreciate the return to sprinting and a chance is taken on SECRET OF SUCCESS. She made a winning debut at Lingfield in February and Rae Guest's filly won't have to improve much on that to follow-up.
