7th	1	—	Saint Palais (G) Progressed at a rate of knots when winning 4 of his 5 starts when last seen over fences during 2021/22. Lightly raced over hurdles since and tame finishes have been a feature of recent displays. Retu…	56-U577	Harry Bannister R Bandey	9	76.2kg	21 20/1
—	2	—	Brave Kingdom (G) T Low-mileage 10-y-o who took well to fences when winning back-to-back handicaps on first 2 starts in this sphere in 2023. Struggled in a handful of starts after before stopping the slide when second o…	1P/3P-P2	H Cobden P F Nicholls	10	75.3kg	3.50 5/2
4th	3	—	Good Friday Fairy (G) P Likeable type who was a back-to-back winner at Wincanton/Taunton a year ago and added to his tally when striking on return at Exeter. Followed that with a solid third there last month, though still h…	12-134P	Sam Twiston-Davies Ben Clarke	9	73kg	9.50 17/2

5th	6	—	Jupiter Des Bordes (G) T Largely consistent over fences for current yard and deservedly opened his account in this sphere with a gritty display at Warwick. Good second at Haydock next time before stamina probably stretched a…	312055	Charlie Maggs R Hobson	7	71.7kg	9 8/1
6th	7	—	Havaila (G) H Took well to fences last season, winning twice. Good third of 16 at Windsor on return last month and drop back in trip probably in his favour given his natural exuberance.	22-3611	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	7	69.9kg	4.50 7/2
3rd	8	—	Sheldon (G) Seemingly not as good as he was but ran best race for a while when second over C&D 5 weeks ago. Task now is to back that up in this stronger race.	5-43232	Callum Pritchard J W Mullins	10	69.4kg	10 9/1
1st	9	—	As The Fella Says (G) FAV Winning pointer. Maiden under Rules who has shown some improvement switched to fences this term, though was a bit disappointing at Windsor last time.	F-23412	James Bowen N J Henderson	7	69.4kg	2.88 15/8
