1st	1	—	Two Brothers (G) PT Fairly useful on Flat and though unable to match his hurdle debut form when fourth in 7-runner novice at Wetherby in December, cheekpieces go back on here, and he remains with potential making quick …	341	P W Wadge M & D Easterby	8	76.2kg	11 10/1
—	2	—	Highly Recommended (G) Pulled Up Fair winner of Ludlow novice for Mel Rowley but following a fall on stable debut, showed nothing on return from 15 months off at Kelso last time.	F31F-PP	Ryan Mania Mrs Dianne Sayer	7	75.7kg	81 80/1
3rd	3	—	Constantinian (G) T Fairly useful bumper winner makes quick switch to handicaps having showed more than on hurdle debut when fourth in Market Rasen novice in January, though the handicapper hasn't taken any chances with…	31/243-	G Sheehan O Signy	6	73.5kg	4.33 10/3
9th	4	—	Karma De Cotte (G) T Runner-up final start in points and having again looked ready for this step up in trip when fourth in 2m1f Newcastle maiden, he could improve in first-time tongue strap on handicap debut.	243449	Jamie Hamilton Mrs J Stephen	6	73kg	17 16/1
1st	5	—	Ryebridge (G) FAV Chased home fairly useful Moonbow in 2½m Hexham novice last summer, though hasn't matched that form since, including on handicap debut when fourth of 12 at Doncaster last time. Might come on for that.	324414-	Danny McMenamin J Parkinson & S Smith	6	72.6kg	3 2/1
6th	6	—	Camarrate (G) T Runner-up in higher grade at Wetherby in October and not for the first time, seemed better for a break when third in 12-runner handicap at Doncaster last time. Should go close if in similar form 3 we…	20361-P	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	6	72.6kg	7.50 13/2
5th	7	—	Gaelic Glow (G) Some promise in a couple of bumpers for Tom Weston and looks very much to have been brought along with handicaps in mind over hurdles. Opening mark does him no favours, though.	5-65056	Jonathan England S England	5	72.1kg	13 12/1
7th	8	—	Fourofakind (G) P Returns from 12 weeks off in another switch of headgear, having been operating below his best at the end of last year (pulled up at Sedgefield on St Stephen's Day).	6956P7-	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	7	71.7kg	15 14/1
8th	9	—	Rafferty's Return (G) TV Hasn't won for nearly 2 years and underlined he's going the wrong way when well beaten at Doncaster last time.	68-6870	Ross Chapman R Menzies	11	71.7kg	11 10/1
4th	10	—	Rickety Gate (G) Veteran finished last year in good form, making it back-to-back thirds at Kelso in November. Upped in grade here, but he cannot be discounted given his record fresh/at this track.	0334P-7	Ella McGarry N G Richards	11	67.1kg	12 11/1
