Sandahl still looked inexperienced when scoring at York and, providing the ground doesn't get too fast, he'll make a bold bid to follow up. HOLY GRAIL landed a maiden on soft ground at Ripon before a very good run in the prestigious Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley which has worked out well. The extra furlong will suit and she can get back on the winning trail. Secret Ambition is also stepping up a furlong after three runs over the minimum and though Show Stealer only had three to beat at Brighton she did it nicely and hasn't been awarded a high mark.
