1st	1	5	Spirit Catcher (G) Winless since August 2023 and no sign of him capitalising on a free-falling mark of late.	122857	C Lee P A Kirby	7	61.2kg	3 2/1
—	2	3	Pallas Lord (G) T Latest win at Newcastle in February. Ran just respectably despite holding a tactical advantage when sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 43 days ago and it's been a while since he's …	510637	Ben Robinson D W Whillans	8	60.8kg	17 16/1
5th	3	8	Drumcondra (G) B Encouraging fourth of 8 in 1m handicap at Southwell on return but not in same form when seventh of 9 at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on.	245-475	Zak Wheatley D Carroll	4	60.3kg	5 4/1
—	4	6	Staffordshire (G) Has proved unreliable but much improved with hood left off when off the mark in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in February, pulling well clear with a next-time-out winner. Pulled much too hard…	840-719	Darragh Keenan J Candlish	4	59.9kg	7 6/1
6th	5	9	Esque Elegance (F) V Finally off the mark under this 7-lb claimer when winning a 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (1m, 17/2) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt again under penalty.	322661	C J Whiteley S Hanlon	4	58.1kg	11 10/1
3rd	6	2	Alpine Sierra (G) FAV Arrives on the back of 3 second-place finishes, very unlucky when beaten only a nose despite meeting trouble at Newcastle (1m) in March and again shaped like the best horse in the race when beaten a …	311193	P Mulrennan J S Goldie	8	57.6kg	2.75 7/4
4th	7	4	Come On John (G) P Winner at Wolverhampton last March for James Owen but down the field all 4 starts for current yard and is opposable after 177 days off.	5080-40	Rowan Scott Mrs A C Hamilton	7	57.2kg	51 50/1
7th	8	1	Miss Raincloud (F) P Maiden was placed twice at Newcastle in the autumn but has proved increasingly headstrong and she makes little appeal returning from 95 days off in first-time cheekpieces.	308-607	William Pyle Miss Tracy Waggott	4	54.9kg	34 33/1
2nd	9	7	On The Bubble (M) Has scored only once from 27 Flat starts but was placed 4 times at 1m/9f here last season. Below form in a stronger race when last seen at Newcastle but place claims back at Musselburgh after 6 month…	395520	Greg Fairley Gary Rutherford	5	54.9kg	17 16/1
