SICILIAN SECRET continues to frustrate but his overall form, especially when runner-up to Rathlin at Gowran last time, is the best on offer and he can finally get off the mark. Bravely Fought began the year in Meydan and he's run well on the Flat at Leopardstown recently. He wasn't beaten far in a big field over hurdles at Cork last May and looks a big danger. The ultra-consistent Ross Na Righ looks booked for a place again with Golan Guy and Native Palm also capable of playing a part.
