1st	1	—	Count Of Vendome (G) FAV Dual bumper winner from 3 starts who should have made a successful hurdling debut/return at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 3 months ago, 3 lengths ahead and in control when losing all momentum last (traded 1.…	31-2121	B S Hughes D McCain Jnr	6	71.7kg	1.73 8/11
5th	2	—	Different Drum (G) Modest performer on Flat who offered only very limited encouragement tried hurdling at Huntingdon a fortnight ago. Can only be watched.	54208-0	Jamie Hamilton L Allan	5	71.7kg	301 300/1
—	3	—	Luckie Devil (G) Pulled Up H Runner-up in Newcastle bumper last March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). However, he showed nothing…	2/4PPP-	Callum Bewley N G Richards	6	71.7kg	81 80/1
—	4	—	Made All (G) Pulled Up T Fair three-time winner on the Flat last year who is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere.	8-10533	Jonathan England S England	5	71.7kg	81 80/1
3rd	5	—	Not At That Price (G) Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers last spring and, following 6 months off, again ran well from the front when second of 10 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in October. Little encouragement to gl…	44/263-	James Bowen C E Longsdon	6	71.7kg	10 9/1
—	6	—	Prince Of Clova (G) Pulled Up Hung left and carried his tail awkwardly when fifth of 6 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, good) on debut in October. More needed on his hurdles debut.	5P	Peter Kavanagh P D Niven	5	71.7kg	101 100/1
—	7	—	Ribble River (G) Pulled Up Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), successful penultimate start and again ran well when last seen in September. Makes hurdles bow for a new yard and probably one for later on.	P5-56	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	5	71.7kg	67 66/1
2nd	8	—	Stanners Glen (G) T Point winner who made a successful bumper debut at Tipperary for Robert Tyner last May. Popular in the market but held back by inexperience on yard/hurdling bow (sold for £78,000) on return at Taunto…	21/1321-	Bryan Carver H Fry	7	71.7kg	3 2/1

4th	11	—	Uptown Lass (M) Little promise in bumpers for Nicky Henderson but showed a bit sent hurdling after 6 months off when fourth of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) in November. Needs to build on that after a brea…	836-4	Charlie Hammond N Kent	6	68.5kg	101 100/1
—	12	—	King Esoteric (G) Pulled Up Fair form when fifth in newcomers race at Saint-Cloud last spring, only outing on Flat. Interesting recruit for the powerful Dan Skelton yard (gets handy 4-y-o allowance) and market support would loo…	P	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	4	66.2kg	6.50 11/2
