Secret To Success proved half a length too good for ADMIRABLE LAD at Wolverhampton in June but the Banham gelding may turn the tables here on 6lb better terms, also having run really well last time in a competitive handicap sprint for the grade behind Portelet Bay - his best run on turf to date. Secret To Success has been beaten the last twice and looked to find life a little harder recently off a career-high mark. She's still one for the shortlist along with Paymaster, who runs off a basement rating of 45 but showed more last time, has since been gelded and Mollie Phillips claims her valuable 7lb. Nurse Florence is solid enough at this level and can play a part too.
