Race preview
A return to handicap company could see Sprezzatura improve on his most recent run, but SECRETARY is fancied to make a winning stable debut for Mick Appleby having kept on gamely to score on her handicap bow over 7f at Chelmsford last December. She is now rated 2lb above that mark and can follow up here, but the class-dropping Leap Year Lad can give her plenty to think about.
