      In depth

      Verdict

      Wolverhampton winner SWEET BERTIE has undoubtedly been disappointing but drops markedly in class and should get back to winning ways. Hellyn showed some promise on Polytrack in the autumn but has run poorly in two starts on Turf this summer while Lexington Bullet was beaten seven lengths when runner-up in a Beverley seller. Sourire Secret is by Monsieur Bond out of a winning miler and wouldn't need to be special to make his presence felt.
