There was little between third-placed Boycie and Music Major at Wolverhampton last time while Arctic Sea should improve for a recent comeback run at Kempton. Maestro Mac made a winning return in lesser company but struggled in this grade at Chelmsford on his latest start and it remains to be seen how Mouille Point copes upped in class having won at Wolverhampton last week. SECRET RETURN (NAP) was having only her fourth start when winning over a mile at Lingfield last month in a manner that suggested this longer trip would suit. Both placed horses have subsequently won so the form looks rock-solid and Karen George’s mare gets the nod to go in again.
