      tracked leaders, ridden well over 3f out, kept on one pace

      In depth

      Verdict

      A couple of these have won over 6f with Merry Secret scoring at Nottingham last month and Time Has Wings successful at Catterick in May. Both have a chance at the weights but DAY TRADER wasn’t beaten far when fourth over today’s distance at Brighton and first-time blinkers may bring further improvement. Emjaytwentythree is also fitted with headgear for this and is preferred to My Best Friend.
