Exchequer won easily when making all over 7f at Kempton but is upped in class along with the other recent winners. Secret Agent won a Class 6 contest at Nottingham and is upped 5lb while Showmethewayavrilo makes a quick reappearance under a penalty having scored at Southwell on Monday. But it could be the turn of SEPRANI (NAP) today, despite struggling over 5f at Ascot last time, as Marco Botti’s filly went close over today’s trip at Epsom two runs ago and this looks less competitive.
