1st	1	—	Big Storm Brewing (G) FAV Returned from 8 months off with an improved second in 19.5f Doncaster handicap in December but he failed miserably to back that up at Ayr the following month. Bounce back needed.	65-2011	Rian Corcoran T Davidson	7	75.3kg	4 3/1
—	2	—	Green Bonnet (M) Fell Runner-up in Kelso novice (16.2f) on Rules debut last spring and while she offered little on handicap bow at Perth in August, her subsequent third back at Kelso (18.1f) the following month was much m…	2-2403F	Conner McCann L Russell & M Scudamore	7	73kg	7 6/1
9th	3	—	Moonlight Trail (M) Best effort when sixth in novice at Wetherby (19.7f) over Christmas. Disappointed over C&D since, however, and doesn't look especially well treated on handicap debut.	6-P6P	Lily Pinchin Paul Robson	7	73kg	51 50/1
10th	4	—	Miss Friday Lions (M) Upped in trip and posted her best effort yet in this sphere when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft, 16/1) 67 days ago. Dropped 2 lb since and is one of likelier contend…	0350P-3	Nathan Moscrop R Menzies	5	72.6kg	11 10/1
4th	5	—	Lady Phoebe (M) Modest winner on Flat who has yet to make an impact over hurdles including sent handicapping the last twice. Hard to fancy.	760744-	Ryan Mania A Nicol	5	72.1kg	12 11/1
2nd	6	—	Midnight Bella (M) Showed ability in bumpers but made little impact in a trio of hurdle outings thus far. Can start in handicaps from a lowly mark at least.	58069	Peter Kavanagh J Parkinson & S Smith	5	72.1kg	34 33/1
3rd	7	—	Leader Wing (G) B Still looking for first win over timber but has dropped to a handy mark and posted respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) when last seen in December. Re…	462533-	Jamie Hamilton G Boanas	6	71.2kg	5.50 9/2
8th	8	—	Carrhill (G) P Maiden pointer who hasn't seriously threatened under Rules, including over fences the last twice. Likely best watched returned to smaller obstacles now.	045986	Danny McMenamin C Grant	6	70.8kg	5 4/1
7th	9	—	Take A Hike (M) T Promise when placed twice last season and came good back from a break at Kelso (20.9f) in November. Disappointed in testing conditions at Leicester latest but better expected here.	4714P7	Beau Morgan D J Jeffreys	8	69.9kg	9 8/1
—	10	—	Azof Des Mottes (G) Pulled Up Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when bagging 3m Ayr handicap chase in November. However, commensurate with his patchy record he has failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts and makes limited appeal b…	5-P41PP	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	9	69.9kg	26 25/1
6th	11	—	Tiggerelli (M) T No impact in a trio of bumpers for Sandy Thomson last term and hasn't fared any better in 3 starts over hurdles for new yard this season. Tongue strap back on. Remains to be seen if switch to handica…	66/6696-	Callum Bewley Paul Robson	6	68kg	67 66/1
5th	12	—	Snapaudaciaheros (M) T Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, finishing well held in 4 handicaps this season. Improvement required.	5851-P1	Charlie Maggs R Menzies	6	68kg	10 9/1
