—	1	—	Baptism Of Fire (G) Pulled Up Useful chase winner for Henry de Bromhead in 2022. However, he has been pulled up over hurdles on all three runs for current yard. Very hard to warm to.	P/PPPP6-	Edward Austin J K Hunter	11	76.2kg	401 400/1
1st	2	—	Born In The West (G) FAV C&D winner in December and backed it up with a solid fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Needs considering.	755151	Jonathan England S England	7	74.8kg	2.75 7/4
3rd	3	—	Rioja Alta (G) B Better than ever when notching second victory of 2025 at Cartmel in July. Not discredited when sixth of 7 in 3m handicap at Wetherby 65 days ago so he's shortlisted.	176335-	B S Hughes Micky Hammond	6	74.4kg	8 7/1
—	4	—	Piaff Bubbles (G) Pulled Up TV Winless since 2023 but posted a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) 17 days ago. Possibilities in a change of headgear.	344-3P5	Nathan Moscrop R Menzies	10	73.5kg	10 9/1
2nd	5	—	Colonial Empire (G) V Got back on track after 6 months off when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good) 50 days ago. Up 2 lb but must enter calculations with that form working out well.	67-5P22	Mr Edward Vaughan Tim Vaughan	9	73.5kg	7.50 13/2
4th	6	—	Guernesey (G) P Runner-up last 2 starts, just denied in 23f handicap at Hexham last month. Without a win in 23 races but should go well again after that encouraging effort.	622454-	Joshua Thompson Mrs J Stephen	10	72.6kg	10 9/1
—	7	—	Asa (M) P A three-time winner last season and she posted her best effort of the current campaign when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 8 days ago. A player off an unchanged mark.	976313	Joe Williamson P A Kirby	7	71.7kg	4 3/1
5th	8	—	Poetry Man (G) P Bagged a 25f handicap chase here in December 2024. Not disgraced back hurdling after 9 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap over C&D (good) 70 days ago. No forlorn hope.	PP-P357	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	8	70.8kg	7 6/1
—	9	—	Rebel Intentions (G) Pulled Up PT Arrives in very good nick for his current yard, just failing when second of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 29 days ago. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly.	7P32P6	Craig Nichol Annabelle Sowray	9	66.7kg	5 4/1
