2nd	1	—	Follow Charlie (G) P Won at Perth last spring and back to form to land a third course success over 20.5f in November. Subsequent efforts suggest he's summed up by his mark.	62494-4	Ben Smith R M Smith	7	76.2kg	10 9/1
—	2	—	Kasanova's Dream (G) FAV Pulled Up B Placed first 2 starts in maiden company and fitted with blinkers, he was back at that level when sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Gowran 3 weeks ago. This looks an easier race and has to command seri…	3-346	S Bowen G Elliott	6	76.2kg	3.75 11/4
—	3	—	Biglesisback (M) Pulled Up Solid form when third over 2½m at Perth and improved dropped back in trip when clear runner-up in a 2m Hexham novice. Well-related mare and while she couldn't justify support on handicap debut, she s…	9-3222P	D R Fox L Russell & M Scudamore	6	76.2kg	8.50 15/2
—	4	—	Be The Difference (G) Pulled Up Completed a hat-trick in decisive fashion at Sedgefield in December but winning run ended off revised mark when sixth of 7 at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Down in grade and merely plugged on for third at …	11163P	Joe Williamson P A Kirby	10	75.7kg	13 12/1

—	6	—	Adveram (G) Pulled Up V Ended a long losing run reverted to hurdles in 9-runner handicap at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) in December, holding on gamely. That race didn't work out and he ran a moody race behind Shoeshine Boy over C…	371PPP-	Callum Bewley I A Duncan	7	72.1kg	13 12/1
4th	7	—	Wise Move (G) H Multiple winning pointer but just a modest maiden hurdler. Did step up on return to action when second of 10 at Wetherby on Boxing Day but didn't get his own way when brushed aside at Catterick. Back…	45254P	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	8	71.2kg	12 11/1
—	8	—	Coylton King (G) Unseated Rider Fourth in course bumper this time last year and has looked a work-in-progress over hurdles so far. Up in trip for handicap debut and this will reveal more.	88F6U2	Alan Doyle I A Duncan	6	68kg	12 11/1
1st	9	—	Better Be Definite (G) Off the mark over C&D in March 2024 and doubled his tally in a Hexham handicap last spring. By no means disgraced when fourth of 9 back from a break at Kelso (21f, good to soft) in November and occup…	10-441P	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	8	67.1kg	6 5/1
