SECRET ROAD (1) was denied a third consecutive victory when 1. 25L second at Chelmsford. Clearly remains in great form though and this slight step up in trip will help. Clearly the one to beat. Looks particularly close to another victory having been beaten just a head here on reappearance. Key player. SPIRIT OF BOWLAND (5) missed the frame when a 4L fourth here in latest. Maintains a solid record attempting this journey and expected to produce another big effort. YORKSTONE (8) can benefit for the application of first time cheekpieces. Consider each way.
