Verdict
Bezzas Lad is 6lb higher back on the all-weather having won at Nottingham while Nibras Again has only won on Turf so far and was placed at Nottingham recently. Katherine Place has been thereabouts at Lingfield since scoring at Leicester and can figure once again but SECRETFACT may prove the one to side with. Malcolm Saunders’ charge has slid down the weights since last successful and a recent neck defeat at Wolverhampton suggests a return to winning ways is imminent.
