Second to Superlative runner-up Italy on his debut before occupying the same position in the Chesham latest, it is difficult to oppose THESECRETADVERSARY The son of St Mark’s Basilica is unlikely to face anything of a similar level today, so this looks an excellent opportunity. That being said, Reverberate was sent off as a warm favourite on his racecourse bow at Beverley and better can be expected this time, while Advance Twentyfive appeals most of the remainder. totewin: Thesecretadversary

South Road sprung a surprise when scoring at odds of 40-1 over C&D a fortnight ago and the unexposed Kodiac filly merits respect from 3lb higher, as does recent Hamilton victor Sixcor, who must shoulder a 4lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on DANZAN. The 10-year-old hasn’t won for a while now but there have been some promising signs so far this season. Dropped into a class 6 for the first time in his career, he could represent some value.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - JIM GOLDIE
The reigning Ayr champion trainer can do little wrong at the moment and as well as (once again) heading our rankings for 2025 going into today’s meeting, the Uplawmoor handler reached a notable landmark at Hamilton on Friday night. Jim went into the Glasgow Stakes fixture on 997 winners on the Flat, after reaching 1000 winners overall with Call Me Ginger’s win here at Ayr back in June 2022, and a treble on the night gave him the magic 1000 winners on the level. Spanish Hustle, Classy Al and Inanna were the 3 horses to take Goldie on to his latest career landmark and Jim saddles 11 runners on today’s card in a bid to get the second thousand winners underway

Jim Goldie boasts a strong hand with Jannas Journey and SPUN TO GOLD, both of whom must shoulder penalties having been successful on their latest starts. The latter, though, was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when scoring over C&D last Monday and further success may well be on the cards. Clasina finished a length in behind the selection that day having been sent off as favourite and she could close the gap on these revised terms.

Wicket Keeper boasts an appealing profile after making it two wins out of three career starts at Doncaster last month and is an interesting contender off an opening mark of 90. Fivethousandtoone just did enough at Newcastle and will be looking to transfer that form to turf. However, the vote goes to MONSIEUR KODI. Richard Fahey’s charge is a previous C&D winner who got back to winning ways at Hamilton recently and is just 2lb higher. With Oisin Orr back on board, he looks the way to go.

Penelope’s Sister made every yard of the running to score over track and trip last week and should mount a bold bid, despite her 5lb penalty. However, BOWOOD showed more when making the frame at Doncaster last month and goes off an unchanged rating. If the five-year-old remains in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Forest Caper completes the shortlist.

SPARTAN TIMES is in the form of his life at present and a 10lb rise for his most recent success at Ffos Las looks manageable as he aims to bring up the hat-trick. Conditions seem to be in his favour again and the four-year-old is preferred to Newcastle scorer Wyld Bill, who has a 3lb rise to overcome for that success. Falcon Nine and Sophiesticate are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

This can go the way of AZUINTHEJUNGLE, who always looked in control when scoring at Kempton earlier in the month, are returning to turf should not inconvenience as he looks to land the hat-trick. Back to form with a highly creditable third at Newcastle most recently, Invincible Annice must enter calculations, along with Atomic Mass, who aims to bounce back to the form that saw him score at Wetherby in June.
