Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Arnie Moon (G) Better effort in bumpers when fourth of 6 at Newton Abbot on debut in June but went with no encouragement when well held on last month's Exeter hurdling debut.	0361F-4	Taylor Fisher J Tickle	6	73.5kg	67 66/1
—	2	—	Constantinian (G) T Bumper winner in March but ran to a barely modest level when beaten 14 lengths into second on Hereford hurdle debut (16.2f, good) in November. Will need to leave that form behind to trouble Onlyforfr…	31/243-	G Sheehan O Signy	6	73.5kg	4 3/1
7th	3	—	Hard Stare (G) Bumper efforts weren't devoid of some promise but he's been tailed off on both outings over hurdles.	9/30073-	Ben Godfrey A J Honeyball	6	73.5kg	26 25/1
4th	4	—	Jaffa Cake (G) Second on bumper debut in March but comfortably held in another bumper and both hurdles starts since.	704PP7-	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	73.5kg	11 10/1
1st	5	—	Onlyforfrankie (G) FAV Fairly useful bumper winner in Ireland who showed promise when hurdling when third of 12 in maiden at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. That performance is supported by the timefigure and h…	173116	J J Burke A Ralph	6	73.5kg	1.33 1/3
5th	6	—	Quinta Brigada (G) Shaped like a stayer in 2 bumpers in Ireland, so will likely find the test inadequate starting out over hurdles over the minimum trip for new yard.	6-85884	Conor Ring Evan Williams	5	73.5kg	51 50/1
8th	7	—	Trooper (G) Fair form at best on Flat in Germany for C. von der Recke (stays 10.5f), last ran in April 2025. Betting probably best guide ahead of this switch to hurdling for new stable.	8/654-74	C Gethings T R George	6	73.5kg	34 33/1
—	8	—	Victors Spirit (G) Fell Well held in AW maiden on the level just over 3 weeks ago but had shaped with some promise in 2 bumpers in the summer. Makes hurdle bow.	612573	J M Quinlan N B King	4	71.7kg	19 18/1
6th	9	—	Galactic Princess (M) H Second in 3-runner event sole start in Irish points (Apr 2025) but sent off 50/1 and failed to complete on recent Rules debut, struggling when pulled up before 3 out. Hood quickly applied.	2-P606	Robbie David Daisy Hitchins	5	70.3kg	151 150/1
2nd	10	—	Babyken (G) T Maiden winner on Flat in France who shaped as if amiss when pulled up in juvenile at Fontwell (17.7f, good, 7/2) on hurdling debut in October, folding tamely. Surely capable of better.	P23	H Cobden P F Nicholls	4	67.6kg	4.50 7/2
