SALEYMM has acquitted himself well in defeat this season, most notably when runner-up in the Lincoln at Doncaster, and the use of Harry Burns' 5lb claim gives him every chance of getting his head back in front. Top Secret returned with a fine second at Newbury last month and remains capable of better based on that performance. Mykonos St John arrives in decent form, having placed at Chester last Saturday, and he must enter calculations, while Natural Path and Orbaan also hold claims. WIN: SALEYMM
EACH-WAY: Top Secret
