In depth

Verdict

PRETTY BOY FLOYD (NAP) travels over from Ireland with a leading chance. He finished runner-up in a tougher sprint than this at the Curragh last week and will relish the underfoot conditions. Somewhere Secret popped-up at Carlisle recently having missed the break on several occasions earlier while Teruntum Star never figured over 6f last time having won at Beverley before that. Canford Bay and John Kirkup have not been at their best lately but are not badly treated if rediscovering their form.
