Verdict

SECRET COMMAND made a good return to the track when second over C&D last month and might prove the answer to an open-looking sprint handicap. Crack The Kode was better than the result (met trouble) at Redcar last time and has dipped back to the mark he defied over C&D last autumn so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him play a prominent role. Alfa Moonstone is also shortlisted along with Brian Ellison handicap newcomer Northerner.

  1. SECRET COMMAND (IRE)
  2. CRACK THE KODE (IRE)
  3. ALFA MOONSTONE
