SECRET POTION was only fifth over track and trip a week ago but wasn’t beaten far and scored here last month. Ladweb has placed on his last couple of outings though failed to threaten on either occasion and Shesthedream is preferred off her current mark on the back of last week’s third here. Royal Mezyan has won off a higher mark over track and trip but that was back in 2016 while Tiger Lyon is fitted with a tongue-tie and returns to the all-weather for the first time since scoring here in December last year.
