MERRY SECRET was running for the tenth time and had dropped to his lowest ever mark when scoring over the trip at Lingfield. He had Isla Vista just under a length back in third and the disappointing favourite Talking Point beaten over 6 lengths and can confirm the form with both. Wow William led for a long way over a mile here in December though makes his handicap debut under a big weight but Shaqeeqa got no sort of run on her handicap bow at Lingfield and Rossa Ryan takes over from an apprentice.
