Denis Hogan has been firing the winners in and Save My Blushes should make a bold bid to follow up his victory over the course and distance last month where he foiled a gamble on Rawnaq. However, NEVER A SECRET finished a close third that day and on 5lb better terms is taken to reverse the form and gain her second success on the course. Castletown Bridge comes here in excellent shape having landed a Sligo hurdle in fine style. He's just finding his feet with Gordon Elliott after arriving from the UK and must be a threat. Meitheamh scored at Tramore in April then ran a strange race at Sligo where she appeared to pull much too hard and though City Line ran well at Clonmel on fast ground last time he's now gone 19 starts over hurdles without winning.
