Verdict

The top three have all won over the course and distance. Stoneyford Lane made a successful debut on soft ground here in April of last year and is just 2lb higher than when scoring at Haydock last month. Secret Agent has won twice, including on this track, though he's 6lb higher than his last victory. Jashma beat the latter here in May but could only finish fourth behind him later and was beaten when odds-on for a four-runner race on the track in June. CORONATION COTTAGE wasn't far behind Secret Agent last month and gained his first success here last
