Street Secret was 6lb higher for a win at Epsom when runner-up at Nottingham on her latest start, but a five-length defeat was still a little disappointing considering she'd been progressing well until then. A chance is taken on TENESSEE as he looks pounds better at this track than he does on turf and is 4lb lower than when third on his last run here. Ullswater is hard to predict and Estourah is making his handicap debut on his first run since April, while Star Commander was winning his maiden at the eighth time of asking when successful here last month.
