7th	1	—	Paddys Policy (G) Back on track when creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 33 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Dropped 1 lb since and can make presence felt.	4F-2737	Charlie Maggs D McCain Jnr	6	75.7kg	5 4/1
8th	2	—	Irish Blaze (G) Proved disappointing on final 2 starts for Cian Michael Collins in Ireland and little signs of encouragement, back from 12 months off, on debut for new yard at Haydock (15.6f) 42 days ago.	46UP-78	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	10	75.3kg	23 22/1
9th	3	—	Chanonry Point (M) T Opened account at second attempt in this sphere when taking C&D maiden in November. However, finished well held on handicap debut here since and her current mark looks fairly lofty.	113-219	P W Wadge L Russell & M Scudamore	6	74.8kg	19 18/1
1st	4	—	Magna Victor (G) FAV Lightly-raced for his age and posted a career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft, 8/1) 40 days ago by neck from Gemini Man. 4 lb higher now but he may be capable of be…	53/4113-	C Gethings A Ralph	7	74.8kg	4.33 10/3
5th	5	—	Ravenscraig Castle (G) PT Ended lengthy losing run at Perth (16.2f) last summer and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 30 days ago. Respected.	264-854	Joshua Thompson I Jardine	8	74.8kg	9.50 17/2
4th	6	—	Captain Cool (G) PT Irish point winner who opened account over timber at Sedgefield (16.8f) in October. Couldn't build on that when third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft, 11/4) 89 days ago but h…	2-11221	Sean Quinlan J Candlish	6	72.1kg	13 12/1
2nd	7	—	As Fast As Wind (M) Struck for the first time in this sphere at Kempton (16f) in October for Daisy Hitchins and made good start for new yard when close third at Sedgefield the following month. Run creditably at Catteric…	69/514-1	Paul O'Brien T Davidson	6	71.2kg	8.50 15/2
3rd	8	—	Platin Moon (G) Capitalised on a falling mark when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 18 days ago, always holding on. 5 lb rise looks fair and he is a likely player.	465131	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	5	70.8kg	5.50 9/2
6th	9	—	Gemini Man (G) P Hexham winner in August who posted his best effort in this sphere when neck second of 11 to Magna Victor in handicap hurdle (9/1) over C&D (good to soft) 40 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and loo…	211P92	B S Hughes I Jardine	8	70.8kg	6 5/1
