        Verdict

        Secret Command beat Sergeant Mayer, Lazareti and Zaphea when leaving previous form behind at Carlisle nine days ago. He’s been raised 7lb but this is not a strong nursery so a follow-up isn’t ruled out. UNOWHO hasn’t placed since second on debut but clearly didn’t take to blinkers or an artificial surface at Wolverhampton latest and the drop back to 5f will suit. Lotting's Lass may be a bit better than form figures would suggest and could run into a place but Lady Bouquet looks held by Sergeant Mayer on course and distance running last month.
