      Verdict

      LAWLESS SECRET was beaten only a neck in a Class 2 contest here recently and will find this much easier. Nicola Currie’s 3lb allowance further helps her cause and she is preferred to Easy Tiger. The latter also drops in class having only managed fourth when favourite here last week but beat Eltezam over track and trip before that. Hidden Steps has something to prove over today’s longer trip while though Dutch Uncle finished just ahead of Van Huysen when fourth at Chelmsford, neither threatened the winner.
