Forecasts

Esperti (1/1), Secret She Keeps (9/4), Cozone (3/1), Hand Over Fist (9/2), She's Tobias (12/1), Simpletwistoffaith (12/1), Killoughteen (16/1), Storm Mahler (28/1), Rolly Bowley Boy (50/1), Sleetansnow (50/1), Great Island (50/1), Keepthepresent (50/1), Dr Val (50/1), Hollys Honour (200/1), Paperman (300/1), Carraig Gorm (300/1)

This looks a decent opening for Henry de Bromhead's SECRET SHE KEEPS. Esperti is an obvious danger for in-form Peter Fahey, while Cozone's Flat ability gives him the potential to leave his hurdle debut form well behind.
