Thesecretadversary is one to keep on side for future runs

It is surely only a matter of time before Thesecretadversary makes his mark on the racecourse after a brave effort in defeat in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Fozzy Stack’s youngster hit the crossbar at Leopardstown on debut and upped to Listed level for his second start, lost nothing in defeat after trying to match strides with impressive winner Humidity.

Dropping back in class for a maiden would seem a formality, but it would be no surprise to also see him continue to ply his trade with flying colours in deep company as the season progresses.
