      Verdict

      SECRET SUSPECT made a winning return to action when beating a subsequent winner over 7f here. There should be more to come from James Tate's filly now she's off the mark and she's preferred to another recent maiden winner Blue Oyster. Big Kenny had to endure a hike up the weights for winning at Southwell in December and has struggled of late, but this is easier than the handicap that Filament Of Gold finished fifth in at Kempton last time and he looks likely to have a say in proceedings.
