The Secrets Out may still struggle in this company despite receiving weight from the three previous winners. Jackhammer has been unable to match an earlier effort in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes in a couple of subsequent starts but Euginio improved to finish fourth in a Listed contest in France last time. He steps up in distance along with TOTAL STAR, who failed to keep tabs on South Seas in the Solario at Sandown last month, but may prove good enough in a tricky contest with Ryan Moore taking over the reins.
