—	1	—	Elvis Mail (G) Pulled Up T Multiple course scorer, including 3¼m handicap last season. At the veteran stage now but has shown enough in a hurdle/chase this season to think he could make an impact now back at his favoured Kelso…	1P/1P-53	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	12	76.2kg	15 14/1
2nd	2	—	Bill Baxter (G) Winner of 12-runner listed handicap chase at Punchestown Festival (24.5f) last spring. Started this campaign with 2 creditable efforts and looked unsuited by a drop back to 21.5f when below par at Ma…	1-2652P	James Bowen W Greatrex	10	73.9kg	5.50 9/2
3rd	3	—	Maximilian (G) Smart novice hurdler in 2022/23. Very lightly raced since but showed useful form when runner-up in maiden chases in December. Below that level when 22 lengths second at Ayr with cheekpieces added las…	P-22233	B S Hughes D McCain Jnr	10	73kg	7.50 13/2

4th	5	—	Dare To Shout (G) T Didn't need to improve much (if at all) to make a winning reappearance at Carlisle (3m) in October. Not in quite the same form when fourth over C&D next time and given a break since pulling up in the…	4P425P-	Danny McMenamin Mrs A Hamilton	9	71.2kg	6 5/1
1st	6	—	King Of Answers (G) FAV P Fairly useful winning hurdler in the mud who showed the benefit of his chasing debut when bagging a 5-runner C&D handicap (soft) in December. Creditable fourth of 5 in a Windsor novice handicap since…	2-51412	D R Fox L Russell & M Scudamore	7	70.8kg	2.38 11/8
