The progressive HIGH SECRET ran out a six length winner over track and trip a week ago and even a double penalty may not prevent Sir Mark Prescott's charge from landing a four-timer. Atalanta Bay returned a narrow-margin winner over 1m4f at Lingfield last time and has been raised only 2lb but Grayswood is 8lb higher than his earlier win at Ffos Las. Admirable Duque finished ahead of Lineman when fourth at the track a fortnight ago and could be thereabouts again.
