Secret Tune looks the one to be on here, with Serhaaphim and Four Miracles the main dangers. Pat Eddery's charge put in an excellent effort when chasing home a decent looking Gerard Butler runner at Windsor recently. There were some big stables represented in that contest and it could turn out to be an above average maiden for the track. Serhaaphim chased home Tom Tate's Rumpus at Southwell on her debut. That winner was soundly beaten in a handicap over the week-end, but Michael Bell's filly is entitled to improve and should play a prominent role. Four Miracles was third in a Southwell contest that is working out really well and if fit for her return she will be hard to keep out of the frame. Carefree Flapper could prove best of the rest, but Secret Tune should only have to repeat that debut run to win here.
