        Verdict

        Ventura Flame beat both Major Pusey and previous dual winner Economic Crisis when scoring at Hamilton and is 5lb higher. Royal Brave will find this tougher after landing an amateurs’ race at Catterick though Sound Of Iona has an easier task than of late and can figure. But SOMEWHERE SECRET arrives in good form and having won at Haydock before placing off today’s mark at the same track, he gets another chance.
