3rd	1	—	El Muchacho (G) T Twice a winner this season and put in another solid shift when collared close home at Sedgefield 12 days ago. 2 lb nudge tolerable and, though not generally the most reliable of types, he'll be a dan…	F323-23	William Maggs M E Sowersby	9	76.2kg	15 14/1
1st	2	—	Ceolwulf (G) FAV P Opened his account in a 6-runner Warwick handicap chase last spring and has found just the 1 too good both starts this season, latterly pulling clear of the rest when chasing home an in-form rival at…	215/221-	James Bowen Fionn McSharry	10	74.4kg	3.75 11/4
8th	3	—	Ozzy Cosmo (G) TP Bagged 2m novice hurdle at Ayr on Rules debut in December 2023 but little to shout about since.	3P-8P48	C O'Farrell N W Alexander	7	73kg	17 16/1
6th	4	—	Passengerontheship (G) Placed in an Irish point and made the frame all 4 starts switched to handicaps last term. Mid-field on belated reappearance here recently but entitled to come on for that run and he could have a part…	P11111	Jonathan England S England	7	72.6kg	4.33 10/3
2nd	5	—	Zumbi (G) T Novice hurdle winner back in 2022 and shaped as though starting to find his feet again when fourth in a 6-runner handicap chase here (2m, good to soft) 17 days ago. Down another 2 lb and this step ba…	442-211	Leah Noreci James Moffatt	9	71.7kg	13 12/1
—	6	—	Didntgotwenty (G) P Winless following 7 attempts over hurdles but opened chase account at the third attempt in good style at Musselburgh (2½m, good to soft) last time. 9 lb rise doesn't look prohibitive all things consi…	7-35521	Sean Quinlan M Todhunter	7	68.9kg	2.38 11/8
9th	7	—	Cave Hill (G) TP Hurdles winner here in December 2024 and off the mark in this sphere when gamely accounting for 9 rivals at Hexham last spring. Appeared to be coming back to the boil when third at Sedgefield in Dece…	536939-	Callum Bewley I A Duncan	7	66.7kg	9 8/1
5th	8	—	Play By The Rules (G) TP Modest hurdles winner and record stands at 0-6 in this sphere. Given a chance by the handicapper but this debut for new yard comes on the back of a 17-month absence.	554/5-B2	Ryan Mania A Nicol	7	66.2kg	4 3/1
4th	9	—	Kingston Rock (G) Pulled up all 3 starts this season and it's not hard to look elsewhere.	36-PPP4	Edward Austin Gary Rutherford	8	64.9kg	29 28/1
10th	10	—	Sputnik (G) P Tumbled in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when second at Catterick in November. However, he has failed to complete on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts and others make more appeal.	P-52P6P	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	11	64.4kg	51 50/1
7th	11	—	Euchan Falls (G) VT Dual hurdles winner back in 2023 but he's a long-standing maiden in this sphere and looks up against it once more from 7 lb out of the handicap.	PPPP47	Danny McMenamin R M Smith	9	64.4kg	12 11/1
