Our columnist runs the rule over his Saturday team including a horse whose work has improved ahead of a Newmarket assignment.

ROMAN SECRET – 7.05 Newmarket
She needs to bounce back. She has probably been high enough in the weights and the handicapper has given her a bit of leeway but it’s another big day for her, she needs to start showing something now.
GUNS FIRING – 6.15 Doncaster
I thought she ran a decent enough race first time at Pontefract when third on debut, it’s a small field again but there are a couple in there that look okay. She’s okay herself, she seems very genuine and tries hard so hopefully she can run a big race.
FLACCIANELLO – 7.45 Doncaster
The step up to seven furlongs looks like it will probably suit her, she was on her head at Pontefract the other day and was never travelling. I thought the ground would suit her but she was never in her comfort zone so hopefully the step up to seven will suit.
