A tricky handicap sprint where it could pay to stick with recent course and distance winner SECRET MISTRAL (6). The Tony Carroll trained mare showed excellent gate speed scoring two weeks ago and may have enough to follow up off 7lb higher. TWILIGHT FUN (5) completed a double here last autumn. Commands utmost respect with first-time blinkers applied following a 53-day break. DASHING HARRY (4) doesn’t look particularly well-treated under the 5lb penalty received for winning narrowly at Lingfield AW recently. Cannot be ignored. THUNDER STAR (7) might be thereabouts.
