      Verdict

      Secret Art finished ahead of Tamayuz Star when fourth at Ascot but Fils Anges makes more appeal on the back of a narrow-margin defeat over a mile at this track. Seek Again showed plenty of promise last season but makes a belated seasonal debut today and Brighton runner-up Maid A Million will find this much tougher. GOLD HUNTER scored easily over 7f at Doncaster before coming up just short over 6f in a decent handicap here last month. Saeed Bin Suroor's charge can return to winning ways back over today's distance.
