made all, hard driven when pressed entering final furlong, edged right inside final furlong, stayed on strongly
reared start, soon outpaced in rear, detatched halfway, late headway, never dangerous

Secret Millionaire, who has won three times around here, was racing off an 18lb higher mark a year ago and produced his best effort for a while here on Friday so should get competitive again. Like Kuanyao, he's on a very long losing run though the latter was only caught on the line here last week and is 1lb lower. Burnt Cream was a length behind Secret Millionaire on Friday after missing the break as she usually does. If getting away better she would have a chance of reversing the form but sixth-placed Frozen Princess looks held. The very speedily-bred MORE SPICE has shown good speed in his races on Tapeta and Fibresand and makes his debut on this surface. He had a long break before running well until fading close home at Southwell last month and, with a first-time visor to aid his cause and the promise of better to come, he gets the vote. The remaining pair look to have plenty to do.
