2nd	3	—	Quebecois (G) T Dispatched pair of subsequent winners in 3m novice handicap hurdle at Ayr last spring. Returned with promising second on Exeter chase debut in November and something possibly not right when well held…	1-24223	Freddie Gingell P F Nicholls	7	75.3kg	13 12/1

6th	7	—	Secret Des Dieux (G) Dual hurdle winner who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner Fakenham novice handicap (2m, good to soft) in October. Has bettered that in defeat since, latterly finishing 1½ leng…	134611	Brendan Powell James Owen	6	69.9kg	10 9/1
3rd	8	—	Scorsese (G) P Dual hurdle winner who has gone the right way over fences, although this is considerably tougher than the 19f Sedgefield Class 4 handicap he dominated on Boxing Day.	8F2133	C O'Farrell N P Mulholland	8	68.5kg	17 16/1
9th	9	—	Kaline Des Boullat (M) Fair winning chaser in France who was successful in a mares' hurdle at Pau on her latest start at the end of December. Not obviously well handicapped.	-914742	Bryony Frost M Seror	6	65.8kg	29 28/1
