This looks wide open but Secret Return certainly has every chance of following up a recent victory at Bath off only a 2lb higher mark. Nightingale Valley likes it here and could go well at a price with Goodwood third Los Camachos another to consider. Scofflaw carries top weight but is another for the short-list while I'lletyougonow may prove the pick of the three-year-olds. Medieval nearly always runs well but finds it hard to get his head in front. SIR RODERIC has his ground and was too keen behind Secret Return at Bath. He does need forgiving a modest effort last time at Sandown but was hampered and eased in the closing stages. He’s back a fair mark so gets the nod, though George Of Hearts and Leader Writer are also starting to look well treated.
