50/1
Unpromising in points and, while he showed some encouragement over hurdles for Patrick Neville last season, he was pulled up on debut for this yard at Carlisle recently.

Showed ability in maiden/novices and back on track when fourth in a handicap at Hexham 7 months ago. Tongue tied for return and claims if he's tuned up.

Winning pointer who is yet to better poor form over hurdles and fell returning from a long absence over C&D on handicap debut last time. Still not exposed.

Picked up for only £1,500 after failing to click for Neil Mulholland but now firmly on the up for current yard, getting back to winning ways in good style over C&D last time. Fancied to go in again.

Suited by way the race developed when off the mark in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh last November. However, her form has gone the wrong way since, pulled up at Hexham on return. Easily opposed.

10/1
Fair bumper winner who attracted support and was in the process of showing better form when falling at Sedgefield last time. Can up her game if none the worse for that incident.

16/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 19 days ago, suited by strong pace. Up in trip. Should go well again.

Won 3 times at Sedgefield in 2021/22 season. Largely disappointing since, pulled up at Southwell 5 months ago. Returns with a bit to prove.

Poor maiden hurdler who returned with a good second over C&D recently. Stable going well and he's expected to be on the premises again.

Poor maiden hurdler who was pulled up last time. Has had a wind op since. Others make more appeal.

Verdict

SECRET SECRET has been turned around by his current stable and, having had plenty to spare over C&D recently, he's a confident choice to score again. Eden Mill and Bouncing Bobby are both obvious dangers.
