    Verdict

    A quality handicap with plenty holding solid claims. However Secret Tune won well last time out and can win again at the main expense of Gull Wing and Aureate. Whilst a mark of 83 for his handicap debut looks a bit harsh, Pat Eddery's colt still has plenty of scope for improvement. A fairly easy winner at Newcastle just eighteen days ago, he steps up two furlongs in trip today which looks sure to suit and given that he acts on varying ground, he can successfully give weight away to the field. Gull Wing's form behind Man Of Vision looks rock solid however she disappointed last time out in a Listed contest at Lingfield and will need to bounce back from that run. My Secrets and Aureate represent Mark Johnston but the latter looks the pick. My Secrets looks high enough in the weights for what he has achieved so far, whilst Aureate is returning from a break. The step up in trip should suit and if ridden positively he may be hard to peg back. Sadler's Kingdom cannot be ruled out despite being out of the handicap, whilst Fushe Jo, a half brother to the smart hurdler Arcalis could improve for this step up in trip. Watch the market there is the advice, however Secret Tune has a good season ahead of him and gets the tentative nod.
