Verdict
MAJAVANGO (NAP) is on the upgrade and followed a 15 length victory at Tramore with a fall at the second last when challenging at Naas. Providing he's none the worse he's looking well handicapped. Secret She Keeps is another definite improver having comfortably won a beginners' chase at Thurles and gets in here on a fair mark. Friendly Star was very consistent in France, especially on heavy ground, and made a promising start for Tony Martin at Galway but Grade 3 hurdles winner Fakiera is taking time to warm-up over fences. It Could Be You beat a subsequent winner at Galway and didn't quite get the run of the race when well supported back there last month.
