Davey Boy won a maiden auction event here in November but the form looks nothing special. Wolverhampton fourth Secret Insider will have to prove she handles this slower surface, though this is a drop in grade. Pirate's Treasure is on a roll but only beat previous winner DAISY BERE a neck over course and distance last month. The pair had a coming together that day and was probably a fortunate winner so with runner-up 4lb better off today, not counting Cliff Lee's 7lb claim, she should turn the tables. Hollywood Ken returns from a lay-off and Kemsing and Planetaria have been plying their trade at a lower level.
