—	1	—	Luwdvig (G) Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Lingfield (19.5f, soft, 8/1) 8 days ago. Carries penalty but has to be taken seriously in follow-up bid for in-form yard.	734135	J M Quinlan N B King	7	78kg	4 3/1
5th	2	—	Monsieur Jaco (G) H Point winner but brought along steadily in this sphere over 2m. Up in trip for handicap debut and he's a likely improver with a hood fitted.	331-886	C O'Farrell N P Mulholland	6	76.2kg	5.50 9/2
—	3	—	Good For You (G) Pulled Up B Runner-up on the second of 3 outings over hurdles last season. Showed a bit more when mid-field at Wincanton on Boxing Day fitted with blinkers. Step back up in trip promises to suit and he's been ea…	25-596P	C Gethings Mrs J Williams	5	76.2kg	9 8/1
—	4	—	Gower Spirit (M) Sprung 28/1 surprise in Uttoxeter maiden (heavy) in November and unlucky to bump into a progressive rival when second to Jamaicaine (winner again since) at Hereford a fortnight ago. Up 3 lb but one t…	P82248	Stan Sheppard M Sheppard	6	76.2kg	9 8/1
1st	5	—	Highbury Hill (M) Showed promise when finishing second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham (6/1) in October. Finished third of 16 in a handicap over C&D next time, making a late error when in contention for second but backwa…	5-23715	Bryan Carver N J Hawke	5	75.3kg	5 4/1
—	6	—	Boston Joe (G) Pulled Up T Won a pair of Ffos Las handicaps over fences in the first half of last season. Respectable third over both sets of obstacles since but he remains prone to the odd mistake.	2/33P15-	Ben Jones Miss R Curtis	10	74.8kg	9.50 17/2
—	7	—	Ocean Walz (G) Runner-up in three bumpers but failed to match that in a pair of maiden hurdles for Tom Symonds at Hereford and Doncaster last winter. Likely needed the run on stable debut in June and while off agai…	80-6828	Benjamin Poste Mrs R Gasson	6	72.6kg	26 25/1
7th	8	—	Dessie Haze (G) Looked hard work down at 2m but confirmed he possesses some ability when third in maiden company at Chepstow in April. Matched that form when third on handicap debut over 20f a month later and a well…	3/47616-	Conor Ring P C Dando	8	72.1kg	51 50/1
3rd	9	—	Don't Tell Rosie (M) Placed twice in handicaps at up to 2½m in the spring. Hasn't threatened in 3 outings this season, clearly not on her game when prominent in the betting at Warwick latest.	23-9503	Lorcan Williams J Scott	6	71.7kg	9 8/1
—	10	—	Locked Down Lad (G) Unseated Rider Winner of sole start between the flags and though yet to get his head in front under Rules, he has finished in the frame on each of his 5 completed starts since switched to handicaps (brought down fi…	BU68P-6	Taylor Fisher J Tickle	6	71.2kg	6 5/1
6th	11	—	Crossbeau (G) FAV Off nearly 17 months prior to getting off the mark in likeable fashion in a 16-runner C&D handicap in November, ridden positively and responding willingly to pressure. Not in the same form at Fontwel…	4/247-14	Mr Edward Vaughan Tim Vaughan	7	71.2kg	4.50 7/2
2nd	12	—	Out Of Focus (G) P Bumper winner back in February 2023 and, though yet to add to that following 13 attempts over jumps, it was encouraging he could build on his belated reappearance run when second of 7 in handicap hur…	44/3-426	Isabel Williams Evan Williams	8	70.8kg	12 11/1
4th	13	—	Rest Is The Best (M) Big prices and showed little in her qualifying runs over 2m. Up in trip and handicaps more suitable.	07642	James Best H Dickin	5	67.6kg	67 66/1
—	14	—	Getaway Sam (G) Green when mid-field in a Hereford bumper for Nigel Twiston-Davies and well held completed starts over hurdles.	P8PP62	R Patrick M Sheppard	6	66.2kg	34 33/1
—	15	—	Saccary (G) Fairly useful on Flat in Germany/France (stays 1¾m) but well below that level over hurdles, including in handicaps.	46722-2	Jack Tudor D Pipe	7	65.3kg	34 33/1
—	16	—	Atlantic Power (G) Got off the mark in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f) in October and backed it up with 2 placed efforts from 3 starts since. This looks a deeper race but he can give it another good go.	13721P	Harry Kimber Mrs R Ford	6	64.4kg	11 10/1
