BOOK OF SECRETS has been threatening to open his account over obstacles and this looks like a nice opportunity for him to shed his maiden tag. Charles and Adam Pogson's charge was only collared late when second over 2m at Southwell last time and a repeat of that run would see him hard to peg back today. Moro Rock appears to be the biggest danger after making a nice start to his hurdles career when fourth over the extended 2m4f at this venue last time and this drop in trip is likely to suit, while John The Baptist heads the remainder.

In first-time cheekpieces, BOOK OF SECRETS returned to form when runner-up at Southwell 19 days ago and he sets the standard in this contest. The 5-y-o can get the better of Moro Rock, who made the frame at this course on his hurdling debut, while John The Baptist could fare better now handicapping having had a wind op.

He's not one to rely upon heavily but BOOK OF SECRETS ran a big race from the front in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell last month.

ROCK ON HARRY recorded back-to-back second-placed finishes last month and this appears to be the perfect chance to get his head in front. Tom Lacey's runner was just touched off over 2m at Worcester last time, beaten just a short head by a big-priced rival and that form entitles him to great respect today. Saint Jaguen is feared most after his third over C&D last time and he'll know more after running green late in the day on that occasion, while Gold In Doha is another to note.

ROCK ON HARRY was only just denied on his handicap bow at Worcester and this looks an excellent opportunity back in a maiden. Saint Jaguen can follow him home in a weak affair.

The one to beat is ROCK ON HARRY, who returns to novice company after going very close in a recent handicap.

HERONORD was a facile winner over the extended 2m at Newton Abbot last time and a repeat of that effort would see him hard to beat today. Evan Williams' charge scored by four lengths on that occasion and this 5lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear likely to be enough to halt her progression. The hat-trick seeking Guinness Affair is likely to pose the most questions to the selection, but this may be a step too far after being raised a total of 11lb by the handicapper for his successive wins, while Rakhine State, who won at Perth last time over the extended 2m, also commands respect.

GUINNESS AFFAIR has an excellent strike rate and found plenty to double his tally over fences at Newton Abbot, so he's preferred to Perth-winner Rakhine State.

Topweight GUINNESS AFFAIR has won five of his eight starts and is taken to complete a hat-trick having won over fences the last twice.

Last-time-out winner Cilluirid arrives in fine fettle, but Tim Easterby's inmate will need to settle better if aspiring to complete a double on this step up to 3m. With that in mind, HARDY BOY makes most appeal. The six-year-old found only a progressive rival too strong over 2m7f at Worcester last time andm despite 1lb rise, he shapes as if there are still races to be won with him off his current mark. Croagh Patrick has been knocking on the door and is a viable alternative in his present form.

CROAGH PATRICK has been running well lately and this doesn't look a strong handicap, so he might be able to belatedly get back on the scoresheet. Hardy Boy looks the main danger and Cilluirid, an old rival of the selection, is a player if he gets the trip.

The suggestion is CROAGH PATRICK (nap), who scores very good marks for consistency and won't mind what the weather does.

CLASSIC LADY may have found her heavy defeat at Cartmel last month coming too soon after winning at Hexham a week earlier and Mark Walford's mare could bounce back to winning ways if freshened up by a small break. Pardon Me is entitled to build on her seasonal debut when finishing eighth here recently, with Patrick Wadge's 5lb claim effectively putting the veteran 2lb below her last winning mark. She could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of the unexposed Fabuleux Du Clos

CLASSIC LADY was a lot better than the result at Cartmel and can show she's still ahead of the handicapper having been freshened up since. Riggsby caught the eye a bit at Southwell last time and is interesting now stepping up in trip given how well he stays on the Flat. Pardon Me could be all the sharper with a recent run under her belt and also makes the shortlist.

She flopped when favourite at Cartmel last time but that race may have come too soon for CLASSIC LADY, who was progressive previously.

GREATNESS AWAITS was set to go extremely close on handicap debut at Uttoxeter last Friday until the saddle slipped and the four-year-old unseated his rider in the final strides. Ben Pauling's gelding likely has more to offer and compensation could await off only 1lb higher. Summergrounds offered something to work with when fourth at this venue in June, while Melvich Bay and Spot On Soph complete the shortlist.

GREATNESS AWAITS was about to go down narrowly on his handicap debut when losing his rider in the shadow of the post at Uttoxeter 9 days ago so has obvious claims up only 1 lb. Summergrounds remains with potential in handicaps so is next best ahead of Spot On Soph.

The most appealing option is SUMMERGROUNDS who made an encouraging handicap debut here two months ago.

This looks a contest in which BARI BREEZE could plausibly throw up some value with the Milton Harris yard currently running hot. The eight-year-old hasn't been sighted since November, but his only previous win came after a lengthy break and the return to the smaller obstacles appears to be a sensible move. Minella Youngy has the back form to enter the equation if recent wind surgery has had the desired effect, whilst Black Lightning has been knocking on the door on his most recent efforts, all of them coming at this track, and should again be involved.

In a contest where very few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken on the returning BARI BREEZE, who wasn't in much form over fences when last seen in November but is on a good mark if sparking back to life returned to hurdles after a break. The unexposed Rhodia could be sharper for her Cartmel reappearance and is second choice ahead of Black Lightning.

Marginal preference is for MINELLA YOUNGY in the hope that he can return to his recent placed form.

It's difficult to know what One Colour actually achieved when winning a similar event at Southwell recently, but she had been unconvincing at Huntingdon previously and may be worth taking on at cramped odds under a penalty. Preference is for newcomer NO CAN SEE, who is a half-sister to the smart hurdler Mr Adjudicator, given Milton Harris' excellent form and impressive strike-rate in this sphere. Syd Hosie's Dontmesswithme looks the best of the remainder after two placed efforts at Newton Abbot.

NO CAN SEE is an appealing newcomer on paper and could be the way to go before market clues. One Colour won well at Southwell and has a good chance to follow up under a penalty.

Rae Guest's ONE COLOUR won nicely at Southwell with the front two clear and this well-bred filly can defy the penalty.
