Desaray Girl has slipped to a fair mark but she’s not been in the best of form this season. A winner on the Flat in Ireland last October, SECRET SECRET was very well backed on his UK debut at Wetherby. He wasn’t beaten far and, despite a modest strike-rate over timber, can recoup losses as Astroman is now 0-13 while Prairie Wolf has probably promised more than he’s delivered so far and has gone up 3lb for a narrow defeat here last time, though his yard did send out last year’s winner.
