Forecasts

Fassbender (9/4), Secret Sea (7/2), Boomtown Girl (4/1), Master Cornwall (7/1), Maria Francesca (15/2), Novano (10/1), Baliyad (12/1), All The Angels (16/1), Willyouwalkwithme (18/1), Tham Luang (22/1), Monaghanarmaghlady (33/1), Alterno (40/1), Ask The Leader (40/1)

SECRET SEA produced her best effort to date when narrowly denied at Wexford 11 days ago and appeals as the type to do better again in handicaps, so she’s fancied to come good. Fassbender was collared only late on at Tipperary last time and is another to bear in mind, as is Novano, who's been given a chance by the assessor.
