Biggles ended last year with a victory at Sandown and returned to action with a course and distance success. He beat previous winner Ivasecret last time but SECRET MOMENT looks a bigger threat. The latter went close dropped back to 6f on his reappearance but won over today’s trip last season and the Godolphin charge will be sharper today. Roman Dynasty will appreciate this return to the all-weather while Kondratiev Wave has been thereabouts on Turf recently.
