7th	4	—	Go Dante (G) TP Has won the last 2 renewals of this, latterly from 5 lb lower a year ago. Enhanced his excellent record at this venue with another victory in December and while a couple of heavy defeats have followe…	1-610P7	S Bowen O Murphy	10	73kg	13 12/1
—	5	—	Ooh Betty (M) T Likeable mare who has been a credit to connections, showing a really willing attitude when landing valuable Grade 2 at Ascot in January. Down the field in this race a year ago from the same mark and …	3-00019	Ben Jones Ben Clarke	8	73kg	21 20/1
—	6	—	Top Jimmy (G) Fell On the up since joining current yard, landing a pair of novice hurdles at Uttoxeter in October and continued theme of race-by-race progress over obstacles when runner-up at Windsor (20f) in January. …	4-1132F	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	6	71.2kg	8 7/1
8th	7	—	Rubber Ball (G) Marked drop back in trip seemed to help a lot and he got his career back on track in no uncertain terms when landing 7-runner handicap at Newbury a week ago. Up 8 lb in a better race but he's lightly…	47P180-	J M Quinlan N B King	6	71.2kg	6.50 11/2
—	8	—	Bubble Dubi (G) Pulled Up Strong traveller who posted a useful effort to make light of a long absence in 17f Aintree handicap in November. That was an unconventional race and he seemed anchored by a 9 lb rise at Newbury last …	331/18P-	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	9	71.2kg	51 50/1
4th	9	—	Messerschmitt (G) Juvenile hurdle winner who shaped very well on second handicap start when third in a big-field contest at Galway in August. Excellent second on the level later that month but subsequent hurdles effor…	5-38049	Danny McMenamin N Meade	5	70.8kg	51 50/1
—	10	—	Nardaran (G) TP €135,000 purchase who resumed progress following wind surgery this season, scoring at Plumpton and over this C&D during the autumn. Hasn't been plain sailing since but fifth-place finish in high-prof…	11P663-	H Cobden P F Nicholls	5	70.3kg	34 33/1
11th	11	—	Gooloogong (G) Fairly useful Flat performer at best. Opened his account in this sphere when winning Fontwell novice (17.7f, good) in November 2024. In good heart in staying handicaps on the AW last spring and no fl…	713-146	Tom Cannon George Baker	6	69.4kg	29 28/1
6th	12	—	Spirits Bay (G) Returned with success over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m) in October and posted a good fourth of 10 on just his second chasing run in 2m3f Exeter handicap in January. Better was expected returned to ti…	70-1347	N de Boinville N & W Twiston-Davies	8	69.4kg	51 50/1
9th	13	—	Jack Hyde (G) T Landed the odds in 2m Newton Abbot novice in September and has advanced his form since, tongue tie refitted when a very good second in handicaps at Cheltenham in November and Taunton last month. Bett…	552291	Tom Broughton F O'Brien	8	69.4kg	9 8/1
2nd	14	—	Wreckless Eric (G) P Won strong novice handicap at Cheltenham and ran another cracker when narrowly denied by Go Dante in this a year ago. Hasn't hit the same heights in 3 outings this term but yard going a bit better no…	0-79620	Kielan Woods J & A O'Neill	6	69.4kg	12 11/1
—	15	—	Mr Mcloughlan (G) Won back-to-back novice/maiden hurdles earlier this season before finding Grade 2 company too hot at Cheltenham. Back on track to resume winning ways on handicap debut at Huntingdon in November. Fit …	181736-	Lorcan Williams Jack Jones	6	68.9kg	51 50/1
13th	16	—	No Ordinary Joe (G) TP Useful on his day for Nicky Henderson but winless since 2022. Few obvious positives to take from his first 6 outings for new connections but fitted with cheekpieces he offered a lot more when fifth a…	—	Benjamin Macey Faye Bramley	10	68.9kg	15 14/1
1st	17	—	Mondo Man (G) FAV Smart on the Flat in France (purchased for €520,000 last October) and very well treated on that level over hurdles. Well backed when only fourth at Ascot in December (race not run to suit) but has si…	39-2411	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	5	68.9kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	18	—	We're Red And Blue (G) Free-going sort early in his career but looked more professional when gaining handicap breakthrough at Huntingdon in December. Ran at least as well when second at Kempton a month later and he seems l…	7-01232	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	6	68.9kg	13 12/1
—	19	—	Star Of Guiting (G) Pulled Up Dual juvenile winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies last season and his strong-travelling style proved well suited to Musselburgh this winter, winning back-to-back handicaps. Value for extra last time, so …	211P58-	Craig Nichol Ewan Whillans	5	68.5kg	26 25/1
12th	20	—	Game Colours (M) T Gained reward for her consistency when landing the odds in 4-runner heavy-ground handicap at Exeter 15 days ago, forging clear. Likeable type but far deeper race and 3 lb rise may anchor her.	2-33210	Rex Dingle Ben Clarke	8	68.5kg	51 50/1
5th	21	—	Afadil (G) Another good Musselburgh effort when second again to reopposing Star of Guiting a month ago. Third in this race from 1 lb higher a year ago so a bold bid could be forthcoming.	342575-	Freddie Keighley P F Nicholls	7	68kg	19 18/1
—	22	—	General Briar (G) Pulled Up Very strong at the line back at 2m when opening his account at Plumpton in December and improved again when following up in a Newbury handicap a month later. Jumping and attitude both look assets so …	6-F311P	Freddie Gordon C Gordon	7	68kg	26 25/1
10th	23	—	Brace For Landing (G) P Made the frame both starts in France and easily best effort for this yard with cheekpieces on when fifth over C&D in January. In top hands and not yet exposed and interesting back in this big-field e…	42-355	Harry Skelton D Skelton	5	66.7kg	15 14/1
