        In depth

        Verdict

        The veteran Secret Asset is defying his years and has won off much higher marks than this in the past. He's just 4lb higher than his last success though takes a slight step-up in grade as does Something Lucky, who is also up the same amount after his victory over the track and trip last month. RUSTY ROCKET (NAP) landed a Class 3 handicap at Musselburgh last summer from just 3lb lower. He reappeared with an excellent run at Southwell a fortnight ago and with that under his belt can go one better. Top Boy didn't win last year but he's gradulally come down the weights and should soon put matters right but it's over two years since Ballista last won a race and he's let supporters down in two claimers at Lingfield this month. Pushkin Museum once looked promising and is interesting having his first start since September 2014.
