Wrexham Lager Novices' Handicap Hurdle

7th	1	—	Maggies Boy (G) P While a reproduction of something akin to his best form would give him a fighting chance, he has a bit to prove following a heavy defeat when returning from a break at Doncaster last month. Cheekpiec…	871-PUP	William Shanahan J Candlish	7	76.2kg	29 28/1
4th	2	—	Kastellion (G) FAV Second on sole start in Irish points last spring and duly stepped up on maiden/novice exploits when third of 11 pitched into a handicap a Southwell last time. This stiffer test could help and he's a …	2-64634	Charlie Hammond Mrs M Rowley	6	76.2kg	3.25 9/4
9th	3	—	Greedy Smith (G) In good hands but improvement was not forthcoming on handicap debut at Doncaster in January.	777P92-	Kielan Woods J & A O'Neill	6	75.7kg	17 16/1
5th	4	—	Diamand De Vindecy (G) Fair winning stayer on the Flat and fairly encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Catterick in January. However, he refused next time and is not particularly appealing now returned to hurdle…	62855-5	Toby McCain-Mitchell R Bevis	7	72.1kg	11 10/1
2nd	5	—	An Buachaill Rua (G) Point winner who found some improvement when opening his hurdles account at the seventh attempt at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) last time. 6 lb rise fair and this stiffer test should be in his favour.	056512	Harry Atkins Sheila Lewis	6	71.7kg	4.33 10/3
3rd	6	—	Mooserwirt (G) T Successful between the flags last February and handicap debut fourth of 15 at Newcastle last time was a step in the right direction. Wouldn't be without each-way hope if able to build on that now upp…	1-6074	Toby Wynne O Greenall & J Guerriero	6	71.7kg	4.50 7/2
10th	7	—	Dublin City (G) Placed on last of 3 starts in points but very little to shout about in a trio of maiden hurdles.	635/890-	Rex Dingle J S Smith	6	70.3kg	51 50/1
—	8	—	Junior Des Mottes (G) B Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Fakenham and Plumpton last month and, though turned over at odds on the last twice, he will be a danger to all if responding well to the first-time blinkers.	3P1132	Harry Reed Nick Scholfield	7	69.9kg	5.50 9/2
1st	9	—	Thereyare (G) HT Runner-up sole start in Irish points and while he hasn't shown that much over hurdles to this point, it would be no surprise to see this 5-y-o take raise his game.	2-878	C J Todd O Greenall & J Guerriero	5	69.4kg	11 10/1
8th	10	—	Rockvale (G) H Placed on each of his three starts in points but yet to trouble the judge under Rules, finishing well held on chase/handicap debut at Ludlow when last seen in December 2024. Now tried in a hood.	9/86-2P4	Stan Sheppard S Allwood	7	68.5kg	11 10/1
6th	11	—	Jo Arengeot Bey Aa (G) P Point winner but he hasn't pulled up many trees since embarking on a career under Rules.	P/646-1P	William Maggs D McCain Jnr	7	65.8kg	21 20/1
