—	1	—	Vee Dancer (G) Pulled Up TP Fair dual-purpose performer at best but has shown nothing in 4 starts for current yard.	11/P-PPP	Freddie Keighley R Potter	11	76.7kg	81 80/1
1st	2	—	Mask Of Zorro (G) Has taken off since switched to handicaps and responded generously to pressure when completing hat-trick at Taunton last month. Up another 6 lb but has bags of scope and is still totally unexposed as…	6-41111	Brendan Powell J Tizzard	6	75.7kg	3 2/1
—	3	—	Passing Pleasure (G) T Improved to readily make a winning start for this yard in Musselburgh handicap hurdle on return last month and followed up off the same mark on chase bow at Catterick the following week. New mark has…	042-112	Craig Nichol O Greenall & J Guerriero	6	75.3kg	3.75 11/4
—	4	—	The Two Harrys (G) Has shown ability but clearly hasn't been easy to train, all the better for belated return when second in maiden at Plumpton 53 days ago. Up in trip and remains unexposed heading into handicaps.	36/4-72P	Paul O'Brien Harry Derham	7	74.8kg	8 7/1
3rd	5	—	Be The Difference (G) Completed a hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield 7 weeks ago but winning run ended off revised mark when sixth of 7 at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Should at least be more competitive here back dow…	11163P	Joe Williamson P A Kirby	10	74.8kg	8 7/1
2nd	6	—	Ilitch (G) FAV Went the right way sent hurdling for this yard last season, suited by the longer trip when getting off the mark in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f) in March. Shaped well in defeat both starts this term a…	21-4528	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	8	74.8kg	2.50 6/4
—	7	—	Balboa (G) On a long losing run but has dropped to a handy mark and likely to have been in the mix but for a late error at Taunton last time.	74331-4	Non Runner J W Mullins	6	74.4kg	21 20/1
—	8	—	Romeo Brown (G) P Veteran front runner who has revitalised in cheekpieces to win twice under this rider at Doncaster in recent months. Not to be underestimated in hat-trick bid.	3-F8P11	Oscar Palmer J Parkinson & S Smith	12	73.9kg	6.50 11/2
4th	9	—	Milan Park (G) T Modest form in bumpers and best effort over hurdles when fourth on handicap bow at Wetherby on Boxing Day, albeit well positioned. More needed again up on trip.	3-24443	Ross Chapman C Grant	7	73.5kg	11 10/1
—	10	—	Justus (G) Pulled Up P Off the mark over hurdles early in 2024 and scored twice on level later that year. However, lightly raced and disappointing since, tailed off at Leicester over Christmas.	64P85-2	B S Hughes Micky Hammond	8	72.1kg	17 16/1
—	11	—	Greedy Smith (G) Pulled Up Walk In The Park gelding who has displayed ability in 4 his runs so far and no surprise if he made more of an impact now upped significantly in trip on handicap bow.	777P92-	Kielan Woods J & A O'Neill	6	70.8kg	7 6/1
