      Verdict

      Livvys Dream was beaten by Villette at Kempton in November but returned to action with a victory at Wolverhampton. The latter has gone off the boil recently and First Voyage debuts for new connections having won a maiden for Godolphin in 2016 and missing the whole of last year. Grey Spirit showed good progress in just three outings last season but his yard has yet to hit form and a chance is taken on SECRET ART. The latter was winning off a higher mark in Class 2 company over course and distance last year and today’s drop in grade and a first-time visor may see him back to his best on only his third start since joining Gary Moore.
