Verdict

It's hard to have much confidence in any of these. Ciaras Cookie has won a seller at Yarmouth but was tailed off without any apparent excuse at Lingfield last time. Both Secret Lightning and HILLGROVE ANGEL ran shockers in the same race at Salisbury recently but the latter gets a token vote on his earlier fifth at the same track. Activation may finish closer in this grade but Chilworth Bells has a tough task at the weights.
