This looks tight at the weights but LAWLESS SECRET has the most scope having made a winning start at Windsor when beating no less than three subsequent winners. Simon Crisford’s filly gets the vote on that form. Pivoine won easily at Kempton last time and Swilly Sunset was beaten only a head at Sandown attempting a five-timer. Three Duchesses has also shown good progress this year and an apprentice’s allowance helps her cause today while there may be more to come from Turning Gold attempting this longer trip for the first time along with Helovaplan.
