R ace Summary
Secret Shadow drops in class following a disappointing run over 1m4f at Haydock on her most recent outing, but AGGAGIO boasts an impressive three from three at this track and a 4lb raised mark from his latest win may not be enough to stop this course specialist. Ravens Ark has been running in some competitive handicaps recently and is respected down in grade. Win: AGGAGIO Danger: Secret Shadow
