5th	1	—	Thereisnodoubt (G) PT C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft) 38 days ago. Usual cheekpieces go back on now and he can make his presence felt from an easing mark.	4531-95	D R Fox L Russell & M Scudamore	13	76.2kg	11 10/1
2nd	2	—	He's Bresilian (G) FAV Evens when easily getting off the mark in 6-runner novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not taken lightly back in handicap company.	2-36121	Sean Quinlan Jedd O'Keeffe	6	75.7kg	2.88 15/8
—	3	—	Dance Thief (G) C&D winner who shaped as if in need of his return when a fading fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 73 days ago. Very much one to consider off a handy-looking mark.	3/5P190-	Ben Smith R M Smith	8	74.4kg	8 7/1
—	4	—	Jiair Madrik (G) Pulled Up H Won a conditions hurdle in France in 2023 but offered little starting out for new connections back from an absence of more than 2 years at Uttoxeter last month.	F44-111	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	7	74.4kg	41 40/1
3rd	5	—	Two Auld Pals (G) Bounced back to form returned to hurdles, finishing third behind a pair of subsequent winners at Kelso in October. However, subsequent Musselburgh effort represented a step in the wrong direction so …	5/3638-1	Gregor Walkingshaw L Russell & M Scudamore	8	73.9kg	8 7/1
7th	6	—	Mr Lincoln (G) A fair 1m winner on Flat but yet to match that form in this sphere, only eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.	28/8623	B S Hughes I Jardine	6	73.5kg	21 20/1
4th	7	—	Tread Softly Now (M) P Dual course scorer (including over C&D) who advanced her form when a clear second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Up 4 lb but she's a likely player.	P24342-	Alan Doyle I A Duncan	7	72.1kg	3.75 11/4
8th	8	—	Sao Carlos (G) T Sole hurdle success came in a 2m maiden at Wetherby 2 years ago for Olly Murphy. Has offered little both runs for his current yard this term so has something to prove at present.	5/P88PP-	Peter Kavanagh Lizzie Quinlan	8	72.1kg	51 50/1
6th	9	—	Don Occhetti (G) T Opened account for Dan Skelton in Worcester chase in August 2024. Off 16 months before being pulled up for new yard in 2m4f handicap hurdle here 11 days ago. Lots to prove now with tongue strap added…	1/P63FP-	Conor Rabbitt W Young Jnr	8	70.8kg	126 125/1
1st	10	—	Platin Moon (G) Placed on sole Flat start in France and has shown promise in this sphere, hooded and aggressively ridden when a fading fifth of 10 in 2m1f Carlisle handicap 30 days ago. Can go well off a slipping ma…	465131	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	5	69.9kg	4.33 10/3
