Verdict

Secret Moment’s only win so far came over 7f here and he gets a change of headgear but Vespasian still looks a shade high in the weights, as does Tyger Bay. Shalaa Asker was winning at Chelmsford earlier in the year and Gold Medal completed a double at Lingfield but TWILIGHT MADNESS is preferred. The latter has been competing in tougher sprints on Turf since rattling up a treble on the Tapeta at the end of last year and can go close back at this level.
