Verdict

Not a lot of form to go on so the market will prove the best guide but in the absence of that information, Keepasecret is preferred to Ballyclare and Kinsford Cowboy. Keepasecret is owned by Gay Smith and with a number of quality animals in her care, there is every reason to believe that plenty will be expected on the first appearance. Ballyclare made all to win a three mile point in Ireland so the market is watched on British introduction. Kinsford Cowboy has the edge of British experience although he would need to build upon two previous outings. Check Up hails from a yard in form so should not be readily discounted. Master Bell's breeding is very much on flat lines so a look at the market is most definitely advised. Keepasecret could be a useful sort and in the absence of any market information, he receives the nomination.
