Dubai's Secret enjoyed stepping up to this trip at Windsor though a 4lb rise in a better nursery makes this tougher and third-placed Harlequin Rock should get closer with a 4lb pull. MACHINE LEARNER has made progress with each run and came with a late rush to score over 7f on good ground at Lingfield so this trip should be ideal and he can complete a double. Bathos landed a minor nursery at Beverley and has a 5lb rise to contend with and Sterling Work has been disappointing so far.
