Verdict
Astrum went close in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time behind the 111-rated John Louis. But that gives him something to find with ARTHURS SECRET, rated 119, and John Quinn's charge can open his account having found only one too good in a couple of novice events at Wetherby. The remainder will do well to get involved on what little they have shown so far over hurdles with point-to-point winner Queen Of Milan and Broadway Belle, third in a bumper, looking most likely to show some improvement.
