—	1	—	Little Big Kev (G) Pulled Up T Maiden but offered something to work on when third at Market Rasen on return in November. Tongue strap back on.	554/53P-	Sam Twiston-Davies R T Phillips	7	75.3kg	7.50 13/2
3rd	2	—	Fine As Wine (M) Finished in the frame on all 4 starts in Irish points and easily best effort over hurdles when fifth in maiden at Bangor 4 weeks ago. Return to further will suit but opening mark looks harsh.	666533-	Benjamin Macey G Hanmer	8	75.3kg	13 12/1
6th	3	—	Ever Ready (M) Maiden who improved for the step up in trip when finding only a progressive one too good over C&D last month. Not disgraced in a better race than this at Huntingdon since and she's a player.	586246	Paul O'Brien Mrs P Sly	7	74.4kg	9 8/1
4th	4	—	Feet On The Ground (M) T Keen-going maiden who ran her best race when runner-up over C&D under similar conditions but disappointed next 2 starts, tried in a tongue strap last time. Could bounce back returned to this venue.	P04P-36	J J Burke F O'Brien	8	74.4kg	13 12/1
9th	5	—	Cool Master (G) Well held in maiden/novice hurdles, though showed more than previously latest.	994	C J Todd O Greenall & J Guerriero	5	74.4kg	23 22/1
8th	6	—	We Got Your Back (G) P Winner over fences at Hexham in October. Not as good over hurdles, however, and ran poorly on belated return to this sphere on penultimate start.	1245U8-	Miss Ellie Callwood L Morgan	8	73kg	26 25/1
10th	7	—	Keepkalmandkarryon (G) T Little impact in bumper and novice/maiden hurdles. Off 14 months.	9/666-0	Nick Slatter D Killahena & G McPherson	7	73kg	41 40/1
5th	8	—	My Fortune (G) T Yet to offer much in a bumper and over hurdles, failing badly to justify support on handicap bow at Ludlow last time. Tongue strap now applied.	65F475-	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	72.1kg	5 4/1
7th	9	—	Bravethewaves (G) TP Two standout efforts this season came when making the running, winning over fences here in November and at Doncaster last time. Out of form when last seen over hurdles.	914717	Toby Wynne O Greenall & J Guerriero	9	70.8kg	11 10/1
—	10	—	Troop Ship (G) Pulled Up T Down the field all 5 starts over hurdles, including in handicaps. Tongue strap on 1st time.	54-037	Charlie Deutsch Mrs M Rowley	8	69.9kg	11 10/1
2nd	11	—	Cher Monsieur (G) FAV P Produced a determined display to get off the mark in a 16-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle 10 weeks ago. Up 4 lb and enters calculations again now in first-time headgear.	5412-21	C O'Farrell N P Mulholland	6	69.9kg	3.75 11/4
1st	12	—	Dartmouth Rose (M) P Confirmed previous promise in handicaps when opening her account at Fakenham on return from a break in October. However, has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts and headgear now given a wh…	143411-	J M Quinlan M Crawley	6	68.9kg	9.50 17/2
—	13	—	Parish Star (M) HT Improved for current yard, winning at Newcastle before following up over C&D in good style. Disappointed when bidding for a quick-fire hat-trick at Carlisle but worth another chance back from a short…	31153-2	Ryan Mania A Nicol	6	68.5kg	6 5/1
—	14	—	Kylenoe Dancer (M) Has evidently had her problems but made second start for this yard a winning one at Fontwell in May. Off since, however, and 6 lb higher now.	33/1P-32	Thomas Bellamy K Bailey & M Nicholls	8	68kg	9 8/1
