—	2	—	Lawtan (G) T Lightly-raced 5-y-o made a winning debut over fences for Francois Nicolle and having been picked up for €21,000 by new connections, offered something to work with when fifth in 2½m Uttoxeter novice. …	6F15	Rian Corcoran R Hobson	5	72.6kg	17 16/1
7th	3	—	Springtime Legend (M) H Improved when off the mark in a weak Hereford handicap and while a creditable third on first try over this sort of trip at Wincanton (good to soft) subsequently, she probably needs an even greater st…	25-4613	R P McLernon N P Mulholland	6	72.1kg	15 14/1

6th	7	—	Kadjar Des Mottes (G) Point winner whose form over hurdles and fences has proved consistent rather than progressive, unseating after the third in Carlisle chase latest. Does at least tackle staying trips for first time as…	4F42U6-	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	6	71.2kg	13 12/1
1st	8	—	Largy Go (G) Fetched £305,000 after winning sole start in Irish point last March and though unable to land the odds in 2m Ayr maiden second time up over hurdles, that form has worked out well, and he looks intere…	1-23	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	5	71.2kg	3.75 11/4
2nd	9	—	Mighty Fleur (M) Form has taken a turn following a very consistent start under Rules, shaping with little encouragement on Newcastle chase debut in January. Could bounce back on handicap hurdle bow, for all she doesn…	2572-11	Shane Fenelon M Bowen	6	70.8kg	13 12/1
