Having performed with plenty of credit in a higher-grade handicap on Oaks day at Epsom, SECRET STRENGTH could be the answer to this competitive and open-looking contest. Starlight Nation has improved with each of his three starts since tackling handicaps and is feared greatly on the back of his Leicester success. Al Motasim failed to make an impact at Goodwood but remains of interest in view of his reappearance effort at Haydock, while Capote's Dream and Ring of Light are also shortlisted.
