SECRET ROAD (1) proved progressive on two occasions already in 2026 with a close second in a 1200m Southwell AW handicap last Sunday preceding a 1.25L success in this level over 1200m at Wolverhampton AW on Tuesday. Top pick. VALADERO (7) could show best form following a not disgraced 1.75L sixth contesting a 1200m handicap at Kempton AW three weeks ago. Warrants thought making the shortlist returning to 1400m. VITALLINE (8) found success by a head beating the aforementioned Valadero at Kempton AW prior to a close fifth over course and distance (handicap) nineteen days ago. Interesting. DR ALI (3) rates next best.
