Secret Asset couldn't follow-up his earlier win when racing off a higher mark at Lingfield in December but he has the beating of Piscean on latest running. Wildcat Wizard finished just ahead of Little Garcon at Lingfield last September and is worth considering on his first start for Dandy Nicholls, but ANNE OF KIEV gets the vote. She finished in front of higher rated rivals when runner-up in a Listed event on her latest start and her earlier defeat of Five Star Junior gives Jeremy Gask's progressive filly the beating of Star Rover, Flipando and Captain Ramius.
