Forecasts

Fall For A Kiss (9/2), Postcode Envy (5/1), Cliffs Of Freedom (11/2), Gregory's Gift (6/1), Youceeyouceecee (7/1), Secret Sea (8/1), Pretty Rebel (14/1), Cactus Tree (14/1), Forza Libranno (18/1), Doonard Prince (22/1), Ahaziah (25/1), Valquinto (25/1), Knockgraffon Lass (28/1), Smiling Emily (200/1)

SECRET SEA has a less-exposed profile than a lot of these and gets the nod to build on a solid handicap debut run at Navan recently. Youceeyouceecee should be thereabouts if reproducing his latest Tipperary second, while Forza Libranno would also come into it if the betting speaks in his favour on this first run for Denis Hogan.
