6th	1	—	Kantagua Du Large (M) Showed fairly useful form when winning a 4-y-o chase (in cheekpieces) in France. Has yet to come close to matching hat form on these shores but shaped with a bit more encouragement after 9 months off…	6446-69	Miss Clara Brewitt C Boultbee-Brooks	6	76.2kg	6.50 11/2
8th	2	—	Sophie Power (M) T Winner on Flat in France and improved for a change of tactics when narrowly prevailing in 6-runner event here (15.5f) in November. Shaped as if still in good form at Uttoxeter subsequently but stamin…	9-0158P	Miss Megan Bevan H Dickin	5	75.3kg	21 20/1
4th	3	—	Subtle Fortune (M) Showed improved form to get off the mark at Uttoxeter (22.2f, heavy) in December. That was a weak race however and she offered little back there a year on.	1-44143	Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell Mrs M Rowley	8	74.8kg	23 22/1
7th	4	—	Walkinthecotswolds (M) B On the back of a breathing op, showed improved form when making all for a first success in a Chepstow handicap in January. However, ran poorly after 9 months off when pulled up at Ffos Las (21.9f, so…	F/PP7P-P	Oscar Palmer H Dickin	7	74.4kg	19 18/1
—	5	—	Chosen Hero (M) Pulled Up P Chepstow 2m novice hurdle winner in January 2024 but largely below form last term and offered little starting out for this yard (formerly with Archie Watson) at Carlisle last month. Back up in trip.	768-9PP	Rian Corcoran Lizzie Quinlan	8	73kg	41 40/1
—	6	—	Pearl Smoke (M) Pulled Up T Little impact in maiden/novice hurdles but may show more now handicapping up in trip.	6366PP	Nathan Andrews O Greenall & J Guerriero	5	71.2kg	41 40/1
2nd	7	—	After Many Days (M) P Maiden who followed a good run with a below-par one when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Possibilities if bouncing back to form.	424222	William Featherstone H D Daly	7	69.9kg	5.50 9/2
—	8	—	Take A Hike (M) Pulled Up T Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) in November. Seemed to find the test too much at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) next time, so the return to this…	4714P7	Freddie Keighley D J Jeffreys	8	69.4kg	5.50 9/2
1st	9	—	Queen Of Steel (M) P Landed back-to-back handicaps in March and stepped up on recent run when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy, 18/1) 42 days ago. Needs more to defy this mark, however.	11-5312	Mr Lucas Murphy F O'Brien	6	69.4kg	5.50 9/2
5th	10	—	Natus Vincere (M) FAV T Showed little in maiden/novice hurdles for L. J. Morgan (sold £15,000) but was successful in her sole outing in Irish points earlier in her career and should be capable of better now entering handica…	559-512	Miss Jemima Stewart O Murphy	7	68.9kg	5 4/1
3rd	11	—	Shesupincourt (M) TP Temperamental sort who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when a well-beaten eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 20 days ago, weakening having been upsides…	83P574-	Roisin Leech R Potter	9	64.4kg	11 10/1
