    Verdict

    Equally Fast was upped a grade last time having beaten Bertie Blu Boy over track and trip before that. But the latter is weighted to reverse running in this and also makes more appeal than the veteran Secret Asset, who won a Class 5 sprint here in February and is 6lb higher in the weights. JUST US TWO only had a couple of outings last year and won at Windsor on the first of those occasions. He was well beaten in Class 2 company when last seen in action but Bob Cowell’s charge should will find this easier and gets the vote.
