This is no better than the first division and the four-year-old SECRET SEA gets a tentative vote. She was in very good form in the summer, scoring on the Flat at Ballinrobe, and showed that a first success over timber shouldn't be far off with a decent effort at Thurles. The veteran Capture The Drama will be having his 94th start and looking for a tenth victory though he's 0-13 on this track while Fairyhouse handicap winner Coole Arcade is best with plenty of give. Johanna Yeats is 0-16 over timber and though attracting support at Galway looked short of pace and may need further.
