Verdict

Nick Alexander saddles three runners, the pick of whom is evidently the 9yo BENNY'S SECRET. He stayed on from an unpromising position to finish a closing half-length second to Ask Paddington at this track (2m5f) just over a fortnight ago, appearing well suited by making a return to the smaller obstacles. In a relatively open race, one must also consider both Sunny Destination, and the 2018 race winner Chicoria who represents the Cumbrian trainer Tristan Davidson, a man in the thick of the action winners wise at Newcastle on Saturday.
