In depth

Verdict

Cassie's Choice, My Secrets and Fadeyev are the three to look at here, and with little strong form to go on, the newcomer Fadeyev is taken to come out on top. Cassie's Choice has to be seriously considered here having shown promise first time out at Hamilton, she belied her 25-1 starting price at Ayr next time, doing all her best work in the closing stages. She must be thereabouts. Mark Johnston¿s My Secrets should come on for his debut run at Haydock where he finished in mid-division. He hails from a classy family-his grand dam is the classy On The House, and he should be a lot sharper this time and this looks easier. Kevin Ryan is always to be respected in juvenile races with newcomers, and his Fadeyev hails from a winning family, with enough pace in the breeding to suggest he can play a part here. Any market move should be heeded. A chance is taken that Fadeyev can make a winning debut.
