Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
8th	1	—	Quickasican (G) Showed some ability in novice/maiden company for Rebecca Menzies back in 2022 but off the track for over 2 years prior to failing to complete on debut for new yard at Hexham in April. Best watched.	P/8PF2-P	Elizabeth Gale J Bedi	9	75.3kg	41 40/1
—	2	—	Gonnino (G) Below best at Musselburgh latest but made the frame in 4 of his 5 starts previously and remains on a workable mark.	P26624-	Conor Rabbitt Gary Rutherford	7	74.8kg	11 10/1
2nd	3	—	Burning It Up (G) FAV P Modest form over hurdles. Second on Perth handicap debut last spring but is yet to fire this season and is now tried in headgear for first time.	54P827	Dominic Hislop N W Alexander	6	73.5kg	3.50 5/2
4th	4	—	Snow Dragon (G) Consistent sort who made the frame again when creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle (2/1) at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. One of the likelier contenders.	6-33342	Gregor Walkingshaw L Russell & M Scudamore	5	73.5kg	4.50 7/2
—	5	—	Rightbackatyou (G) Fell Maiden pointer who hasn't offered much promise in a bumper/over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Musselbugh last month. Looks on a stiff mark.	87FP24-	Tom Midgley W Coltherd	8	70.3kg	17 16/1
—	6	—	Velvet Vulcan (G) HT Modest 2m Flat winner who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when close second of 19 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 25 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.	422466-	Ben Smith R M Smith	7	68.9kg	3.75 11/4
—	7	—	Time Was (M) Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs and was below best when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Others are more convincing.	434-P85	Joe Williamson P A Kirby	9	68.5kg	7.50 13/2
—	8	—	Diamond Trilogy (G) Pulled Up Just modest form shown over hurdles and offered little sent chasing when eighth in 2m5f Sedgefield handicap in November. Reverts to this sphere with more required.	7-6088P	William Maggs Mrs Dianne Sayer	7	68kg	17 16/1
5th	9	—	Kingofthegame (G) Ex-pointer who, following a quick switch to chasing, showed encouragement when making the frame in 2 handicaps in October 2024. Ran poorly in both subsequent starts, however, and has something to pro…	4-F3113	Charlie Maggs M Todhunter	8	67.6kg	7 6/1
7th	10	—	Steel Soldier (G) Little impact in Irish points and same story under Rules thus far, including on recent handicap debut over C&D.	6-99073	Conor Rabbitt J R Norton	6	67.6kg	51 50/1
6th	11	—	Breadalbane Lass (M) TP Arrives on back of respectable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) 25 days ago but is yet to score and shaped as though this trip stretched her last time.	66641-4	James Turner R M Smith	6	65.8kg	11 10/1
3rd	12	—	Rock N Roll Champ (G) P Posted best effort this term, in first-time cheekpieces, when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, soft, 13/2) 44 days ago. 1 lb lower now and can make presence felt.	854345	Edward Austin Miss S E Forster	8	65.8kg	7.50 13/2
1st	13	—	Parish Star (M) H Modest on the Flat in Ireland and largely struggled to make an impact over hurdles for Nigel Hawke. Shaped as if needing the outing for new yard, back from 13 months off, when third of 7 in handicap …	31153-2	Joshua Thompson A Nicol	6	65.8kg	5.50 9/2
