6th	8	—	Daring Plan (G) Still looking for first success and expensive to follow this season, yet there was more encouragement than on his reappearance when finishing respectable third of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.…	6352-U1	Lucy Gardner Mrs S Gardner	8	68.9kg	10 9/1
3rd	9	—	Sweet Nightingale (M) T Modest winner at 18f over hurdles who made the frame again in this sphere when creditable third at Wincanton (20.2f) in November. Turned in a rare poor effort at Hereford since but type to bounce bac…	3P3133-	Benjamin Poste P Gundry	9	68.5kg	26 25/1
