Secret Sea showed good pace but found 1m2f beyond her at Navan last week. Doonard Prince ran well over 5f at the same fixture and this is more like his trip while Gregory's Gift was only beaten a nose over this trip on heavy ground at Limerick on Saturday. The latter ran moderately when well supported to go one better at Cork on Tuesday but YOUCEEYOUCEECEE has dropped to a winnable mark and, though on a long losing run, can take this under Paddy Harnett. Postcard Envy hasn't had much experience but has been showing up well and can't get much lower in the ratings.
