Race preview
NEXT SECOND showed much improved form on her latest outing, as she kept on to finish a close second over 5f at Wolverhampton, and the handicapper has kindly only raised her 1lb for that effort, which may not be enough to prevent her from going one better. Struck Gold is a real threat as he put in some decent displays at Wolverhampton prior to his seventh at Newcastle last week and he remains feasibly treated. Milvus is another to consider after his fifth off 2lb higher at Leicester.
