Sixties Secret might be suited by stepping up to a mile but was beaten in a seller last time when behind Mr Carbonator. Grimeford Lane was second over 7f at Ayr last time and is steadily improving so goes on the short-list and Far Dawn showed more at Lingfield latest. Gemologist hinted at ability on her second start at Doncaster and her yard won this last year but BEZOS is preferred. He’s out of a mare that has produced winners with her first three foals to race and he missed the break last time at Salisbury, though will probably need to be held up to stay this trip.
