Forecasts

Secret She Keeps (15/8), Majavango (9/2), Fakiera (7/1), It Could Be You (8/1), Friendly Star (9/1), Glenloe (10/1), Farceur Du Large (11/1), Dunboyne (11/1), Wa Wa (20/1), Turbo (25/1), Snugsborough Benny (28/1), Take All (33/1), History Of Fashion (33/1), Falco Blitz (50/1), Hilltop Supreme (50/1)

SECRET SHE KEEPS was very impressive when off the mark over fences at Thurles a month ago and might well have been let in lightly off a mark of 119, so she makes most appeal. Fakiera is a potential improver now blinkered for his handicap debut and Majavango isn't without hope given he was shaping well before falling last time.
