2nd	1	—	Fountains Blenhein (G) FAV Debut bumper winner has already won twice as a hurdler and ran his best race when runner-up in 2m3f novice at Taunton latest. The one to beat with step back up in trip in his favour.	131P22	Chad Bament A J Honeyball	7	76.2kg	1.83 5/6
1st	2	—	Caspari (G) Cracksman gelding (half-brother to smart hurdler Luccia) still looked a work in progress when winning at Huntingdon (2m) second time up over hurdles, shaping as though this markedly longer trip could…	01	James Bowen N J Henderson	5	73.9kg	5 4/1
3rd	3	—	Step Ahead (G) T Fairly useful bumper performer (bought by current yard for £145,000) was a game winner of 2½m Cheltenham novice on New Year's Day but dropped away quickly when well beaten fifth over C&D last time.	23-2153	C Gethings K Bailey & M Nicholls	6	73.9kg	2.88 15/8
—	4	—	Hello Tom (G) Pulled Up Getaway gelding from the family of useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3¾m) Ballycasey. 0-5 in points in Ireland, last seen in May 2025. Likely to need more time/distance.	F4663-	Thomas Bellamy S-J Davies	6	70.8kg	151 150/1
4th	5	—	Testing Patience (G) €20,000 Youmzain gelding finished third in a point bumper but only ran to a poor level in pair of Rules bumpers last month.	38342	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	6	70.8kg	41 40/1
