      Verdict

      SECRET MILLIONAIRE can put these to the sword, with High Spice and Walvis Bay the runners who may fare best against him. Pat Morris trains the selection and although his stable aren't in tremendous form it's a different story for this Kyllachy gelding whose third to Masamah in a valuable Ascot sprint is the best recent piece of form on offer. He likes quick ground and off a mark of 82 looks worth a punt. High Spice is interesting despite the fillies' poor performance at Catterick last time out; she was bustled along from an early stage and never looked like winning but the form has been franked heavily by the winner and she holds the selection on their Bath run in June. Walvis Bay is now 6lbs lower than when a fine sixth in a competitive Doncaster handicap last November and he has run here before, Electioneer hasn't been with the Mick Easterby for long and there was plenty of promise in his recent third at Thirsk over further, whilst Tillys Tale was poor at York but her earlier form with Perfect Blossom makes her a danger. At a price Jigajig might bounce back to form after a disappointing run at Thirsk, however the safest bet looks to be Secret Millionaire.
