THE SECRETS OUT has gone well in both outings over this C&D (win and a second) and, having gone well over further at Bath recently, is tipped to give this another strong go from bottom weight. Love Conquers is improving and should be closely watched in the betting for this handicap debut while Abel Tasman and the prolific Miss Inga Sock are also included on the shortlist.
