Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
9th	1	4	Three Dons (G) P Didn't fire on the Flat last year but has been in good form over hurdles this winter and does benefit from a drop in grade on return to the level. Cheekpieces go back on.	08/8940-	Myla Coppins A W Carroll	7	63.5kg	7 6/1
1st	2	6	Dancing Tiger (G) P Won a handicap in this grade at Goodwood (heavy) in September but didn't meet expectations (sent off 6/4 favourite) when fourth of 6 at Bath the following month. Still relatively unexposed starting h…	34-1622	Owen Lewis R A Teal	4	63kg	8.50 15/2
11th	3	15	Bearwith (G) FAV Capitalised on handy mark over C&D in June and similar story when successful on all-weather last month. Shaped as if still in good form in muddling race at Newcastle latest and while he'll need some …	024491	Harry Vigors H Bethell	8	62.6kg	6.50 11/2
12th	4	8	Distinction (G) V Won 3 times last year but struggled for form as the season ended. Did finish close third in this race 12 months ago, though hasn't had the benefit of a pipe-opener this time around.	683659	Finlay Bassett J Mackie	8	62.1kg	21 20/1
4th	5	13	Endless Whisper (M) Teofilo mare is very lightly raced for her age and shaped well when runner-up twice at this course last season. Ran no sort of race at Southwell on latest start in July but has proven herself capable…	55/220-4	Lewis Chalkley M & D Easterby	6	62.1kg	8 7/1
—	6	9	Tee Aitch Aye (G) Ended last season in form, without shaping like an obviously well-handicapped horse, though he should come on for his seasonal reappearance at Newcastle.	5-80763	Cara Tuke I Jardine	5	61.7kg	17 16/1
6th	7	5	It's Only Fun (G) Lost his way on the Flat last season and didn't shape with any immediate promise when tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell on return.	441284	Tom Kiely-Marshall Sara Ender	4	61.2kg	51 50/1
2nd	8	3	Golspie (G) P Arrives on the back of a busy all-weather campaign but was still in fine heart when well-backed fourth of 10 at Newcastle last time, despite not being seen to best effect. Big field/galloping track s…	344363	C Horgan P Morris	6	60.8kg	8 7/1
13th	9	1	Bay Dream Believer (M) H Seems more straightforward nowadays and probably finished last year in better heart than form figures suggest (race not run to suit at Newcastle in November). She's been a well-backed winner over C&D…	051761	K S McHugh M Walford	7	60.3kg	17 16/1
7th	10	14	Fire Eyes (M) Makes rare start over 1¼m having won a trio of 1m handicaps last season, the latest at Redcar in first-time cheekpieces in November. Likely needed her comeback at Wolverhampton but usual headgear aga…	15-6771	Ashley Lewis Roger Fell	8	59.9kg	19 18/1
10th	11	7	Relevant Range (G) In good heart on all-weather this winter, shaping as though worth another go over this trip when fourth of 9 in 1m handicap at Southwell last time, and he's one to consider on first turf start for cu…	086261	Elle-May Croot I Furtado	7	59.9kg	12 11/1
5th	12	2	Hashtagnotions (G) HP Won twice last summer/autumn and returned in good heart (despite looking rusty) when third of 10 at Newcastle. Hood added to usual cheekpieces and should at least be competitive back on turf.	6-35577	Ethan Tindall R A Fahey	4	58.1kg	7.50 13/2
8th	13	11	Miners Gamble (G) FAV Inconsistent performer remains with just 1 win, though did well to finish sixth of 10 off slow gallop at Newcastle last time. Well backed on that occasion and worth noting he was sent off favourite w…	596805	Shay Farmer B Ellison	5	57.6kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	14	12	Recobella (M) Form tailed off after winning strongly-run apprentice classified stakes at Nottingham last July and faces no easy task upped in grade on return.	7-35251	Donagh Murphy P A Kirby	5	55.3kg	17 16/1
13th	15	10	Scarfo (G) Failed to come on for his reappearance when last of 9 in classified stakes at Wolverhampton and faces a very tall order at the weights.	791322	Zoe Lewis B J Llewellyn	5	54.9kg	67 66/1
