Was on the premises (third, beaten 1½l) two weeks ago; hasn't been able to quite get his neck in front but has found improvement of late; trainer is ticking along nicely.

Failed to reward backers (1-3) when fifth on Thursday; should be more streetwise; must be considered.

Related to multiple race winner Naval Secret (6f-1m); Michael Houdalakis debutants always command respect here; has a nice pedigree (by Erik The Red); big chance with signs of encouragement in profile and the current yard form is another tick.

Just his third outing so still early days; finished towards the rear of 13 three months ago in a maiden juvenile plate.

Sibling of Mounia (6f winner); there's hope from the sire that he has some ability; a watching brief the best policy as he has his work cut out against experienced rivals.

Sixth of seven beaten 6l over 5f here (maiden plate) last month; still winless and defeats stacking up (eight on the bounce); makes limited appeal.

Verdict
SECRET SANTA is expected to get the job done. He represents a yard whose newcomers are often capable of running well. Berry Lancer has posted some good efforts of late while Blunderbore has a yard who does well with newcomers, and Chancellor is expected to take a forward step.
