        In depth

        Verdict

        Secret Vision gets the confident vote in the opener with Ardkeel Lass and Largs rated as the main dangers. The selection goes really well here and this track suits his style of racing more than at Lingfield where he was a little disappointing last time. He is in great heart at present and over his best trip he should prove tough to beat. Arkdeel Lass won well last time here over 6f and although she does have an inexperienced pilot on board, he does get on well with this filly. She is entitled to respect and won't be too far away at the finish. Largs has been running well of late and she was a good second last time when narrowly beaten behind Orchestration. She will need things to drop right for her as she will be doing her best work at the finish, and she is another with a decent each-way chance. Cark is the other to factor in on his best form but he has been a little disappointing of late and for the winner we are happy to return to Secret Vision.
