In depth
Verdict
Secret City failed in his bid to land a hat trick when last at Newcastle recently though he did have Ryedane behind when scoring over C&D before that. It's hard to know what to expect from him and TOMBELLINI makes more appeal. The latter was caught a furlong out when trying to make all over 7f at Catterick in September, but may be able to hang on this time back over a shorter trip. Bond Blade won a seller on the Fibresand at Southwell recently, but handicap debutant Eqtiraab looks a bigger threat with improvement likely.
