SECRET PROTECTOR is clear of these at the weights. A winner at Meydan in February, he found only his progressive stablemate Highland Avenue too good in Listed company here last time with the rest nowhere. Mohaafeth is on the upgrade having won a handicap over track and trip last month and is worth a try at this level while maiden winner Inigo Jones is another upped in class. Percy's Lad has come up short at this level so far and steps up in trip.
