SECRET SECRET is having a first run since third of four at Taunton in November but the ground has turned in his favour and he is probably the pick of the weights. Quiana has finished last in all three starts this year and has gone backwards and Candyman Can has his first run since winning over fences in July last year and is 0-18 over hurdles. Ring The Moon is another maiden over timber but has won three times over fences and An Marcach is also a chaser in essence.
