Alastair Ralph has been among the winners of late and WHITE TURF could be another for the yard. His recent near miss at Market Rasen was all the more agonising given that the outcome probably would've been different had he not made a hash of the second-last. Secret Potion made a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Warwick last week and is feared greatly, while Ranco is also of interest.
