Verdict

Sacred Act and Secret Art represent significant trainer/jockey combinations in this competitive contest. The former goes well when fresh and is unpenalised for an excellent effort at Newmarket when finishing clear of the stands side group to finish third behind two horses who are rated significantly higher now. The impeccably bred Afaak has claims if putting a disappointing run lat time behind him. Spring Cup winner BANKSEA goes well after a break and he prepares for another crack at the Cambridgeshire by lining up for this following a poor run in the Hunt Cup. This looks more his level and with his yard in tremendous form he merits the pick.
