Verdict
SECRET ROAD continues to hold his form well in 2026 and returns to the scene of his latest success a fortnight ago. He subsequently finished second the following day at Chelmsford before stepping up to a mile and filling the same position at Southwell last Saturday. Mighty Ruler enters the reckoning after winning over C&D earlier in the month, while Rumba Bay heads the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
This can go to MIGHTY RULER, who was strong at the finish when up late to win over C&D last time. He's a course regular and was cashing in on a reduced mark but still appeals as being fairly treated. Secret Road has been in good form, mainly in classified events, winning one over C&D earlier in January, but he was a good second in a handicap two starts back and is only 2lb higher now. He wouldn't want a false gallop, though. None of the others provide much confidence, but So Chic did win twice in 2025 and may have needed her most recent outing.
