Verdict

Devizes just does enough to win and completed a hat-trick with his latest success at Lingfield. French Minstrel also scored at the latter track with Foresee less than a length behind but the latter has been well beaten since. Chinese Whisperer is creeping closer having slipped down the weights and is another to consider but SECRET ACQUISITION (NAP) will be sharper for a recent comeback run at Wolverhampton and, with further progress expected over this longer trip on only her second start handicapping, she gets the vote.
