In depth

Verdict

Merry Secret is penalised for winning at Nottingham and Night Of Romance has been raised 6lb for a course and distance success. Wudashudacuda debuts on Turf after scoring at Wolverhampton while Lockdown Latchico landed a novices race last year and has switched yards subsequently. Ensyaaby drops down in trip for his handicap bow but STRIKE RED (NAP) placed in a higher grade sprint at Pontefract last time and Richard Fahey’s charge may prove the one to side with.
