Verdict

Sadler's Secret must be one of the most frustrating horses in training to follow and despite a recent victory, we will side with Sue Smith's Meldrum Star. The Bingley-based handler is no stranger to success at Market Rasen and the horse acquitted himself well to take a recent contest at Doncaster under this pilot. He was anticipated to go over chase fences but it is interesting that the option to stay over the hurdles has been taken. Sadlers Secret has switched trainers since winning a claimer at Haydock and while he has ability, he unfortunately has a habit of breaking blood vessels and this must be factored into your bets. Bergamo looked an unlucky loser at the track when folding up behind Uptown Lad. Unfortunately he is rarely very resolute in a finish and could break the hearts of his backers again. Sun King is tried up in trip again. Win A lot reopposes him but has well held on their last meeting at Huntingdon. We'll take the hint about Meldrum Star's participation and back him to take today's contest.
