Verdict

High numbers came out best when Half A Crown won over C&D last month in similar underfoot conditions. He had Northern Bolt and Secret City behind on that occasion but has a low draw today and TRADE SECRET makes more appeal. The latter went close at this track, again from a high draw, when runner-up over 5f last Saturday and is taken to go one better today. Jack Luey finished a close-up fifth in the mud at Doncaster last time and is preferred to fast-ground winner Song Of Parkes, but Bond Fastrac has plenty in his favour here and could also make a bold bid.
