Verdict

Turntable has excuses at Goodwood last time and finished ahead of Dogged when runner-up at Newmarket earlier. But TOP SECRET was beaten only a neck at Headquarters a fortnight ago when giving the impression this extra furlong would suit and he gets the vote to go one better. Willyorwon't He has a shout dropping back down in trip while Bakersboy has tumbled down the weights and Neenee's Choice makes his handicap debut having won a maiden at Ffos Las.
