FormscanBy Tom Weekes - PETIT SECRET has a big 820-day layoff to overcome but was smart in 2023 and contests an ordinary maiden on reappearance. A well-bred half-brother to four black-type performers, the selection showed promise before falling at the second-last in a point-to-point and, at Fairyhouse in December 2023, conceded 5lb to subsequently Grade 1-placed Bleu De Vassy in scoring. Ex-Flat Playtime has reasonable recent form but is vulnerable to a smart type while Ehteyat’s Thurles-placing in January reads very well but he had returned with ‘blood at both nostrils’ post-race after his previous Tramore effort.
