Verdict

Improving pair WALDEN and Blue Carpet are likely to have this between them, with Tom Lacey's charge narrowly preferred following an emphatic success at Ascot last time. Secret Trix is 1 lb lower than when winning the 2024 renewal of this race and has seemingly been campaigned with a repeat in mind.
