Finished a good second in a 5f contest on the AW at Chelmsford last month. Struggled on fibresand subsequently and making just third turf appearance on this occasion.
Placed off a 3lb higher mark over this trip at Salisbury (good-to-firm) in June. Good efforts in defeat subsequently including on the AW the last twice.
Victorious on the AW over 5f at Wolverhampton last time out. Struggled back on turf in a better race subsequently and this looks a more realistic target.
Best effort this term came when finishing 1L second over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-firm) in July. Races off the same mark and is one for the shortlist following a break.
Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts this turf season. Races off a mark 16lb lower than when winning over C&D in July last year.
Forecasts
Vj Day (3/1), Jack Taylor (4/1), Kasbah (11/2), Secretfact (6/1), Nibras Again (8/1), Dotted Swiss (8/1), Jack The Truth (17/2), Secretinthepark (16/1), Union Rose (25/1), Powerful Dream (28/1)
SECRETINTHEPARK looks capable of taking this competitive sprint handicap on his return from a break. The selection placed over this trip at Chepstow when last in action and he can get the better of Vj Day who was a winner last time out. Third place can go to Jack Taylor who ran well on soft ground at Epsom on his most recent start.
