Forecasts

Vj Day (3/1), Jack Taylor (4/1), Kasbah (11/2), Secretfact (6/1), Nibras Again (8/1), Dotted Swiss (8/1), Jack The Truth (17/2), Secretinthepark (16/1), Union Rose (25/1), Powerful Dream (28/1)

SECRETINTHEPARK looks capable of taking this competitive sprint handicap on his return from a break. The selection placed over this trip at Chepstow when last in action and he can get the better of Vj Day who was a winner last time out. Third place can go to Jack Taylor who ran well on soft ground at Epsom on his most recent start.
