      Verdict

      Secret Moment has won twice at Wolverhampton including last month’s reappearance and is only 3lb higher. But YOUARENOTFORGIVEN scored over today’s trip last season and showed further progress when winning over a mile at Leicester. He may prove the one to side with in this less competitive contest. Jade Country has also won over a mile while both Gold Medal and Sassy Belle have scored over 6f and The Cruising Lord is another upped in trip.
