4th	1	—	Ambiente Friendly (G) H Very smart performer at best on the Flat, runner-up in 2024 Epsom Derby. Hooded and built on hurdling debut promise when making all in Huntingdon novice (15.8f) last month. Couldn't build on that, se…	44846-8	Alex Chadwick James Owen	5	75.3kg	3.50 5/2
2nd	2	—	Looping D'arc (G) FAV Built on bumper second when making a winning debut over hurdles in 14-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f) last month. Hung badly and ran out early on at Hereford since but reverts to left-handed track…	21R2	James Bowen W Greatrex	5	75.3kg	2 1/1
8th	3	—	Back On Track (G) Made the frame both starts between the flags but went with little promise on first start over timber at Warwick last month.	42-P8	Sean Houlihan Mrs L Hill	6	72.1kg	151 150/1
1st	4	—	Eddie My Eagle (G) H Built on hurdling debut promise when second of 9 in Sedgefield maiden (16.8f, soft) last month. Open to further progress and is one for the shortlist.	2-24211	Philip Armson Dan Horsford	6	72.1kg	5 4/1
6th	5	—	Golden Prince (G) Not disgraced when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good) 27 days ago but is likely one for handicaps down the line.	3-64663	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	5	72.1kg	41 40/1
3rd	6	—	Land Of Punt (G) Offered more than on hurdling debut when fifth of 10 in novice at Hereford (16.2f, good) 62 days ago. Further improvement will be needed if he is to get involved here, however.	F/9533-	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	5	72.1kg	15 14/1
—	7	—	Reteti (G) H Modest Flat maiden who took a step forward over hurdles when second of 6 in novice over C&D (good to soft) last month. Can't be dismissed.	4245-23	M Goldstein Miss S West	6	72.1kg	6 5/1
7th	8	—	Canopus (G) Fairly useful maiden at around a mile on the Flat for Ed Walker. Makes hurdles debut for new connections here and interesting to see how he fares in the market.	8228-00	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	4	66.2kg	41 40/1
5th	9	—	Northwest Passage (G) Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat but well below that level when seventh of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 4/1) on NH debut 40 days ago.	12-0525	James Davies R A Teal	4	66.2kg	13 12/1
