Leave In Secret arrives here on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, making a compelling case to be preferred over the top-rated Claude despite sitting 2 lb behind on our ratings. Claude remains the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Custers Mistake and Lady Doyanne are also dangers in a deep 19-runner field over this extended trip on good ground at Ballinrobe. The selection's upward trajectory is the deciding factor, and Leave In Secret is the pick.
