Placed over track and trip last time, SECRET LOOK continues to slide down the weights and should be ending a long losing run soon. Oscars Journey has also tumbled down the handicap since winning at Nottingham last year and course regular Very First Blade pops-up when in the mood. Fortinbrass remains 4lb higher than January's course and distance success but Lizzy's Dream has recorded his four wins on the all-weather so far on Polytrack. Gaelic Wizard is a course winner but is having his first start since October.
