Verdict

Mon Secret, Arc El Ciel and Grey Pearl can fight out the finish here with the former just getting our seal of approval. Bryan Smart¿s gelding did well beat today¿s rival Warden Warren in a tight finish at Southwell last time after being squeezed for room at a vital moment and should easily confirm the form with a clear run. Grey Pearl is gradually coming to hand and just failed to hold on against Ronny from Donny and Yorker here recently, another bold effort is expected. Arc El Ciel was out with the washing on that occasion but he is better judged on his previous outing over course and distance when easily accounting for Zarin. Of the others Spark Up is weighted to run well but Mon Secret has hit form with a vengeance and can oblige again.
