Forecasts

Coral River (11/8), Leave In Secret (7/2), Dont Tell Jack (4/1), Glenashling (8/1), Luminous Light (9/1), Cappucino (20/1), Bridie's Beau (22/1), Figurehead (66/1), Golden Temple (125/1)

Verdict

LEAVE IN SECRET matched the best of his fairly useful hurdle form when fourth in a strongly run affair on chase debut last month. He's likely to be well-positioned in a race lacking pace and may be able to open his account over fences. Glenashling would be very interesting if the market expects him to recapture his chase debut form, while both chase debutants make plenty of appeal on paper, notably point runner-up Dont Tell Jack who would be a serious player if supported on stable debut.

  1. LEAVE IN SECRET (IRE)
  2. GLENASHLING (IRE)
  3. DONT TELL JACK (IRE)
