Best Kept Secret was coming to the end of his tether over this trip at Ballinrobe last week but kept battling on and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. Torthai An Ghra, who finished a close fourth, should get much closer under the revised terms and can't go much lower in the weights. Beechmount Whisper was well supported for a similar race here nine days ago after a couple of narrow defeats but he didn't come up to scratch and is only 1lb lower. Lucie Rie should have some improvement in her and did a bit better at Leopardstown but this can go to DANSE ROUGE (NAP). She was a 25/1 chance on her debut over 7f at the last meeting and really caught the eye when staying on strongly at the finish.
