—	2	—	Fuji Flight (G) Pulled Up B Has been a long way below his best since returning from 2 years off last spring, running no sort of race at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Change of headgear.	4/3-444P	Charlie Deutsch Miss V Williams	11	74.8kg	34 33/1
2nd	3	—	Fern Hill (G) Recorded a first success since 2022 when making a winning return in 5-runner contest at Uttoxeter and followed up in veterans' chase at Huntingdon. However, failed to convince with his attitude last …	525423-	J M Quinlan B I Case	11	74.8kg	23 22/1
—	4	—	Ithaka (G) Pulled Up T Matched hurdles form when off the mark over fences at Hereford (25.2f) in January, albeit not jumping with great fluency. Shaped as if still in good form running in a marathon event from out of the h…	2-321PP	Freddie Mitchell R Potter	10	74.8kg	23 22/1
3rd	5	—	Handin Manypockets (G) Similar form all 3 starts over hurdles, only fifth of 6 on handicap bow at Taunton last time. Big improvement required on chase bow off current mark (placed in points).	34353	Paddy Hanlon S Hosie	5	74.8kg	17 16/1
1st	6	—	Express Surprise (G) FAV T Winner of 3m soft-ground handicaps at Wetherby and Uttoxeter in December. Continued in good form when fourth of 16 at Windsor (29f, soft) 56 days ago and he holds leading claims faced with a less com…	3-31141	R Patrick C Boultbee-Brooks	7	74.8kg	3.75 11/4
—	7	—	Always Busy (G) Pulled Up Thorough stayer who was twice successful in the first half of 2025. Has struggled for consistency since but drops markedly in grade here and return to left-handed track will suit.	5P23-F6	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	8	74.8kg	8.50 15/2
—	8	—	Call Me Arthur (G) Pulled Up Hurdles winner who stepped up again over fences when winning at Huntingdon in January in clear-cut fashion. Got no further than the first at Taunton next time, though, crashing through a running rail…	2/19-41F	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	7	73.9kg	4.33 10/3
4th	9	—	Annie Express (M) V Defied a lengthy absence in good style at Ludlow on stable debut in January. Probably found next run coming too soon but dropped away tamely back over hurdles 4 weeks ago. Change of headgear.	4-15P41	Charlie Price R L Llewellyn	8	73.5kg	17 16/1
—	10	—	Better Off Alone (G) Pulled Up P Maiden who fared much better over fences the last twice but still looks high enough in the weights.	72-PP34	James Best M Keighley	7	73.5kg	15 14/1
