Secret Soul has been getting closer and the Street Cry filly is one of only two runners to have travelled up from Ralph Beckett’s yard for this evening’s meeting. She has to go on the short-list but we are sticking with last month’s Carlisle winner SAVANNAH MOON (NAP), who is only 2lb higher and finished second on her only previous run on this surface in June. Champagne Pink wasn’t beaten far at Wolverhampton earlier this month and appears to be progressing while Different Journey is eased in grade. Adventureman reserves his best for Musselburgh, however, and London Master is still on a higher mark than when dead-heating at Wolverhampton in April.
