MARMALADY returned a seven-length winner over track and trip last week. A 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent her following up in this company if Gary Moore's filly produces a similar effort. Golden Secret has more scope than most of these on her handicap debut, though Secret Success is another open to improvement. Pearl Noir showed a bit more last time having slid down the weights while Sweet Talking Guy is only 4lb higher than when winning at Yarmouth in July and also worth a market check.
