Fiveafterfour (6/5), You Say Its Over (10/3), Gypsey's Secret (11/2), Joie De Vivre (6/1), Similar Story (8/1), Wild Polly (10/1), Not Staying Long (14/1)
GYPSEY'S SECRET exceeded expectations by some way when third in maiden company at Kelso and, with stamina her forte, she's worth siding with from a basement mark. Fiveafterfour made a winning handicap debut at Ayr recently and there should be more to come at this trip, so she's the obvious threat.
