Secret Tender has to be the pick in a very weak affair, Darker Than Blue and Devon Ruby may provide most danger. The selection does at least have recent winning form, he beat Chicherova in a Southwell handicap. He ran no sort of race next time and Ripon but is given a chance to atone this afternoon. Darker Than Blue is from a yard in cracking form and although he hasn't shown too much so far this does represent a drop in class. If supported in the market take note. Devon Ruby has shown bits and pieces of form on the all-weather and must be respected in this company. The rest make very little appeal and so the job should not be too difficult for our choice Secret Tender.
