SECRET LIGHTNING only won a seller at Leicester last time but she still beat higher rated horses than this bunch. Mike Appleby's filly can go in again. Romance Story came up short when second in a lowly grade at Chepstow last month and handicap debutant The Wee Barra makes more appeal. Invincible Wish scored over 7f here before running well again at this track last week and Roman De Brut has enough scope to improve on his latest fourth over course and distance.
