Secrets Safe ran well over a longer trip at Lingfield last time but is raised a further 5lb for his trouble. He won at Southwell earlier and so did CHILWORTH BELLS. The latter also scored at Thirsk last year and may well be up to defying a 3lb rise. Sir Lancelott is another recent winner on the all-weather though he was well beaten despite finishing second last time. A handful make their handicap debuts and the betting may give a clue to their chances with the likes of Loom Of Life, Dembaba and Red Majesty all likely improvers.
