MARIE'S SECRET (6) was a fine third over 6f at Thirsk on her second run. Probably did not see out the trip at Newmarket subsequently. From a suitable mark and with the booking of Tom Marquand can be considered. GRANNY BUDGIE (2) won on debut attempting 6f at Nottingham. Did little wrong under a winner’s penalty at Lingfield. Key player. ALFA WHITEBURD (1) appeared out of her depth at Royal Ascot but since run well at Beverley. Warrants respect making initial handicap outing. LOCHABER (5) drops 1lbs since posting a fair fourth at Musselburgh and is entitled to be thereabouts.
