—	1	—	Maggies Boy (G) P Yet to get his head in front (0-11 in this sphere) but last month's reappearance spin at Doncaster should've blown away the cobwebs and will have a chance if able to match the pick of last season's f…	871-PUP	Sean Quinlan J Candlish	7	76.2kg	13 12/1
5th	2	—	U S Marshall (G) P Shaped well when third on Rules debut at Uttoxeter following Irish maiden point success but has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts, including handicap bow at Market Rasen last time. Cheek…	1-35955	Craig Nichol O Greenall & J Guerriero	6	76.2kg	7 6/1
6th	3	—	Suspected (G) Won a Uttoxeter bumper for Tom Symonds last spring but it's all been rather low-key over hurdles so far, finishing well held on handicap debut at Wetherby last time.	P54861-	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	6	74.8kg	17 16/1
11th	4	—	Dilly's Gunner (M) Showed ability both starts in bumpers and, having seemingly been brought along with handicaps very much in mind since switched to hurdles, she's interested now pitched into one off what looks a fair …	25-575	B S Hughes M & D Easterby	5	74.4kg	8.50 15/2
2nd	5	—	Ratemenow (G) Clear signs of ability in a trio of novice hurdles and while he may well be better off now venturing down the handicap route, others make more appeal on this occasion.	4-35456	Nathan Moscrop S Corbett	5	73.5kg	8.50 15/2
—	6	—	Spartan Warrior (G) Pulled Up T Has struggled (in this sphere and on the Flat) since landing a Kelso handicap hurdle last May and, though now 6 lb below that winning mark, he is probably worth taking on.	136690	Peter Kavanagh M A Barnes	5	73kg	67 66/1
10th	7	—	Helsgetaway (G) P Showed promise in maiden/novice hurdles around 2½m but efforts since switched to handicaps have not been overly inspiring.	P6/F40-3	Gregor Walkingshaw L Russell & M Scudamore	7	72.6kg	8 7/1
8th	8	—	Passengerontheship (G) Placed in an Irish point and made the frame all 4 starts switched to handicaps at up to 25f last season. Wouldn't be without hope here if ready to roll following an 11-month absence.	P11111	Jonathan England S England	7	72.1kg	10 9/1
9th	9	—	Snow Dragon (G) FAV P Still a maiden but has made the frame in all but one of the half-a-dozen handicaps he has contested, finding just one too good in a 5-runner contest at Musselburgh (2½m, soft) last time. Solid chance…	6-33342	Jack Power L Russell & M Scudamore	5	71.7kg	6.50 11/2
—	10	—	Venturevango (M) Lightly-raced maiden who failed to pull up any trees for Ian Donoghue in Ireland but she is one to note in the betting on debut for new connections all the same.	0000PP-	Ryan Mania A Nicol	7	71.2kg	21 20/1
4th	11	—	Glory Hights (G) P Proved consistent last season and, following an unsuccessful stint over fences, he has gradually returned to form back in this sphere, finding just one too good in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. One to …	PP9524	Ross Chapman C Grant	10	69.9kg	9.50 17/2
—	12	—	Callisto's King (G) Pulled Up T Absent since October 2023 and this 12-race maiden (0-8 over hurdles) is opposable starting out for new connections here.	2434P0/	Charlie Maggs H Burns	9	69.4kg	101 100/1
—	13	—	Elusive Warrior (G) Pulled Up H Failed to improve for the switch to handicap company here last month and he's readily passed over.	034P3F-	Callum Bewley A M Thomson	6	68.9kg	34 33/1
3rd	14	—	Knacker Trapper (G) Winner of just one of his 16 starts in this sphere and he was safely held on belated seasonal reappearance at Wetherby in January.	5732-92	William Maggs A Crook	8	68.9kg	13 12/1
7th	15	—	Roxby Belle (M) No impact in her qualifying runs last spring but there have been more positive signs in upped to around 2½m in handicaps at Carlisle and Market Rasen this season. Place possibilities.	P86-34	Jamie Hamilton M Walford	5	66.7kg	7.50 13/2
1st	16	—	Fairly Fulling (G) TP Maiden hurdler who has some decent efforts to his name, including when fourth of 8 off 1 lb higher at Sedgefield last time, but he's now 0-16 and may again find one or two too good.	2441-P4	P W Wadge S Corbett	8	65.8kg	12 11/1
12th	17	—	Raindance Queen (M) Poor hurdler/chaser who is opposable from 5 lb out of the handicap here.	4PP740	Charlie Price W De Best-Turner	9	64.4kg	51 50/1
