Secret Cargo has more experience over fences than most of these and ran well in a Naas handicap a couple of weeks ago behind Wa Wa. The winner had earlier beaten SHES SOME DOLL (NAP) comfortably at Killarney but the latter then ran a fine race to chase home Pretty Little Liar at Thurles with Banjo and Handsworth behind so looks the one to beat. An Taibhse hasn't progressed since landing a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle but has plenty of time on her side.
