5th	1	—	La Higuera (G) P Progressive stayer who readily landed a double at Southwell earlier this month and while further progress cannot be ruled out, a 9 lb rise certainly makes life tougher for this hat-trick bid.	432311	K Brogan T Lawes	7	76.2kg	4.33 10/3
1st	2	—	Sparkling Duke (G) FAV P Made it 2-2 at this track when well-suited by a test of stamina over C&D last month and even though he remains one to treat with caution (ran a stinker at Exeter penultimate start), he does have cond…	341-171	Ben Jones K Woollacott	7	75.7kg	2.25 5/4
3rd	3	—	Clondaw Royale (G) Rallied late to capitalise on a drop in grade at Wetherby last month and can still be competitive off his revised mark (won off 2 lb higher last season).	768313	Benjamin Macey J & A O'Neill	7	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
—	4	—	Colonial Empire (G) V Promising start over staying distances, beaten by a well-backed one at Taunton before bumping into a 3-time course winner at Catterick last month. Similar performance may be enough to take this.	67-5P22	Callum Pritchard Tim Vaughan	9	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	5	—	Slim Marvel (M) On a long losing run but showed a bit on stable debut at Chepstow (18/1) and merits a market check under promising conditional.	F57527	Toby McCain-Mitchell Miss R Curtis	8	74.4kg	9 8/1
6th	6	—	Jack's Jury (G) T Maiden whose best effort for previous yard came when third over C&D in June but will need to improve on that to make a winning start for new connections.	6135-3U	Lorcan Williams J L Flint	6	70.8kg	7.50 13/2
—	7	—	Hot Rod Lincoln (G) PT Again looked totally out of sorts (despite the booking of Sean Bowen) when pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell 11 days ago.	441-64P	Lorcan Murtagh Nick Scholfield	10	69.9kg	26 25/1
4th	8	—	Fane Court (G) Inexpensive winning pointer who has shown nothing at long odds in trio of hurdle starts and is now sent handicapping over a longer trip.	74P-432	Shane Quinlan B Lund	8	65.3kg	67 66/1
7th	9	—	Frankie Faulkner (G) In good nick over fences since returning from an absence but it's a long while since he's shown any worthwhile hurdle form.	8/2237-7	Isabel Williams Evan Williams	9	64.9kg	17 16/1
