Miramichi went close here upped to 1m3f but SECRET BOX (NAP) is preferred. The latter won over 1m2f last term and with a couple of outings under his belt this season, Sir Mark Prescott’s charge is taken to improve for this longer trip. Sooghan never threatened when third at Southwell and blinkers are applied while Almufeed returned a disappointing favourite over track and trip when bidding for a five-timer. Party Island returns to the Polytrack with a chance but Bright Start continues to struggle.
