5th	2	—	Au Plaisir (G) T Some promise in bumpers but looks one for the longer-term judged on both hurdle starts to date.	0-30055	Ross Chapman R Menzies	5	73kg	51 50/1
—	3	—	Ayyadieh (G) Well held in points and similar story both hurdle starts. One for handicaps over further. NON RUNNER.	39-3643	Non Runner D McCain Jnr	5	73kg	26 25/1
8th	4	—	Blazing Echo (G) Has shown little and best to look elsewhere.	69P08	Bruce Lynn Eloise Quayle	5	73kg	251 250/1
11th	5	—	Flaming Norman (G) Showed much more than first time up when fourth in bumper here in December, worth full credit for the improvement shown given he came from towards the rear in a steadily-run affair. Now sent hurdling…	940	Ryan Mania Paul Robson	5	73kg	41 40/1
1st	6	—	Jimbo Sport (G) FAV T Irish point recruit who won Hereford bumper on debut in March. Well-backed second on hurdles bow at Kempton (2m) and improved in first-time tongue strap when third in valuable maiden over same C&D la…	421-231	Callum Pritchard B Pauling	7	73kg	1.67 4/6

4th	8	—	Karma De Cotte (G) Runner-up final start in points and has improved with each run under Rules, 5 lengths fourth in 12-runner novice at Carlisle (17f) earlier this month. Respected but likely we'll see the best of him i…	243449	Jamie Hamilton Mrs J Stephen	6	73kg	8 7/1

12th	10	—	Melbourne Ghost (G) Maiden pointer offered little when seventh of 8 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy) debut. Makes hurdle debut but probably one for the future.	705	Craig Nichol D W Whillans	5	73kg	126 125/1
10th	11	—	Ned Broy (G) Modest form on Flat (bred to be suited by 1½m+) but failed to improve on handicap debut last time. Likely to be a longer-term project now sent hurdling.	46-6235	Sean Quinlan I Jardine	5	73kg	67 66/1
7th	12	—	Nosy Neighbour (G) Hit frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points and showed ability when third on hurdling debut. Well below that form at Kelso 8 days ago and looks on a path to handicaps.	54-3872	Nathan Moscrop R Menzies	5	73kg	26 25/1
6th	13	—	Valtteri Its James (G) Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points but looks to be being brought along steadily under Rules. Yard also saddle Like Minded.	106674-	P W Wadge L Russell & M Scudamore	5	73kg	101 100/1
