Verdict

SECRET SEA improved her hurdling form when second in a Wexford maiden and has landed a handicap on the Flat at Ballinrobe since, so she's an obvious choice to land this decidedly weak handicap hurdle. Union Park, who did best of those held up when third at Punchestown last time, ranks as the main danger ahead of King And Queen.

  1. SECRET SEA (IRE)
  2. UNION PARK (FR)
  3. KING AND QUEEN (FR)
