TRADE SECRET went close on his return to action at Ripon with Waking Warrior well behind and gets the speculative vote in a wide-open cavalry charge. Mandalay King is up 4lb for winning at Ripon last Saturday but could still figure while Ingleby Star wasn't beaten far at Musselburgh last time and has claims with a repeat effort. Dispol Grand scored at Nottingham a fortnight ago but this looks tougher and Fair Passion makes more appeal as the multiple all-weather winner remains unexposed on turf and ran well at Doncaster last week.
