Verdict

LEAVE IN SECRET went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up at Wexford last time, and he may be able to go one better here. Sayitfirst looks interesting on the pick of her chase form, while Lady Doyanne and Stoneyford Lady both appeal for the excellent Henry De Bromhead yard.

  1. LEAVE IN SECRET (IRE)
  2. SAYITFIRST (IRE)
  3. LADY DOYANNE (IRE)
