1st	1	—	Saracen Beau (G) FAV Made successful hurdles debut for Nicky Richards in November 2024 and ran well back with yard when third of 9 in Newcastle handicap 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt stepping back up in trip no…	1P3/231-	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	7	76.2kg	3.50 5/2
6th	2	—	Meatloaf (G) Yet to score this term but he's progressed with each of his three runs, posting a very good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton in January. That form has been franked so he's a likely player …	1/P-4636	Freddie Keighley P F Nicholls	7	74.8kg	4.20 16/5
2nd	3	—	Joltin N Jiving (G) T Irish point winner who also landed Carlisle novice last February. Got back on track when second on return/handicap bow at Kelso but well below par both runs since, latest at Catterick after a breathi…	18/2552-	B S Hughes D McCain Jnr	6	74.8kg	4.50 7/2
4th	4	—	Bitsnbuckles (G) T Ended a losing run stretching back over two years in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell last month. Up 7 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.	2-43314	Lewis Stones O Murphy	8	72.6kg	13 12/1
5th	5	—	Yealand (G) P Did well over fences last season, winning 3 times, and signed off for Jennie Candlish with a good second at Bangor in April. Needs to hit the ground running back hurdling for his new yard after 11 mo…	231132-	Benjamin Macey G Hanmer	7	72.6kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	6	—	Ballygeary (G) T Winless since June 2024 and fared no better after another breathing operation when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. This course winner has plenty to prove.	6736-53	William Maggs M E Sowersby	9	72.1kg	29 28/1
7th	7	—	Shotgun Rider (G) T Picked up for £155,000 after winning Irish point last spring. Had wind op before posting promising seconds in novice hurdles at Leicester and Market Rasen (tongue tied) either side of Christmas. Open…	1227	Toby McCain-Mitchell N & W Twiston-Davies	5	70.8kg	6 5/1
