Verdict

SECRETFACT (NAP) was upped in class for his reappearance and is more at home in this grade. He landed a course and distance double in September and there should be more to come from Malcolm Saunders’ charge in this. Frank The Barber remains without a win on turf in 15 attempts while though Swendab has won twice at Kempton this year he has to race off a higher mark back on this surface. By contrast, Flying Bear can compete off a 9lb lower mark but Zipedeedodah never threatened when fourth in a tougher handicap here last time, though has been dropped a further 4lb.
