Verdict

Henry Candy's Felsham looks plenty high enough in the weights on his nursery debut off a mark of 71 after his narrow success in a Kempton maiden last month and a better bet looks to be SECRET MILLIONAIRE, who gets the nod over Monsieur Joe. Walter Swinburn's colt has shown improved form of late with a win in a Ffos Las maiden followed by success in a Wolverhampton nursery last time. A 7lb rise for that latest success looks harsh though and the son of Choisir may have to settle for minor honours. Richard Guest's Micky's Knock Off won in good fashion at Musselburgh last month but a 9lb rise for that success looks excessive and a bigger threat may come from Yurituni. Eve Johnson Houghton's filly, a winner at Bath last month, ran well off her new mark at Chester subsequently when a close second to Falasteen but another rise in the weights makes this tougher. Chris Wall's Citrus Star won well enough in a Pontefract maiden last month and he has to be respected off a mark of 88 on his nursery debut but preference is for Secret Millionaire. The son of Kyllachy has shown decent form for Patrick Morris in nurseries and has solid claims of resuming winning ways racing off just a 2lb higher mark than when narrowly beaten at Ffos Las last time.
