3rd	1	—	Super Citizen (G) P Has a good record here, with wins in this race last season as well as over 3¼m in November. Plugged on into the placings on his last 2 starts over C&D and though he's back at a similar mark from whic…	541432	Jamie Hamilton Lucinda Hughes	12	76.2kg	6.50 11/2
6th	2	—	Baptism Of Fire (G) P One-time fairly useful hurdler/winning chaser for Henry de Bromhead, but no recent form and increasingly looks one to avoid.	P/PPPP6-	Conor Rabbitt J K Hunter	11	74.8kg	401 400/1
—	3	—	Girls Best Friend (G) Fell Made a winning start in this sphere at Uttoxeter in November and backed it up with a good second at Market Rasen. Put a blip on heavy ground behind him with a good second at Exeter 18 days ago (just …	P5-1252	Ned Fox Miss V Williams	7	74.4kg	4.50 7/2
1st	4	—	Jamesieconn (G) FAV T Back on the up for his current yard when landing 8-runner handicap chase at Newcastle at the start of March before following up in game fashion at Doncaster (3¼m, good to soft) a week later. Remains …	3-24111	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	7	73.9kg	1.91 10/11

—	6	—	Voleur De Terres (M) Dual winning Irish pointer caused a major surprise from 5 lb out of the handicap when winning at Leicester in February and confirmed that was no fluke when following up at Warwick a week later, again…	P-P6411	Lee Edwards Miss C Dyson	8	66.7kg	3.25 9/4
4th	7	—	Kingofthegame (G) P Limited sort but at least shaped as if retaining the bulk of his ability after a year off when fifth in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Newcastle 67 days ago. Back over fences now with stamina to prove.	4-F3113	Callum Bewley M Todhunter	8	65.8kg	10 9/1
—	8	—	Steal The Moves (G) P Maiden but shaped like the best horse at the weights when second in this headgear at Ffos Las in February, tiring final 100 yds after kicking on early. Should be in the mix if able to back that up fr…	3P-47P2	Lily Pinchin Mrs E Bishop	6	65.8kg	11 10/1
2nd	9	—	Tory Hill (G) PT Runner-up all 4 completed starts in Irish points but has yet to make an impact under Rules. Cheekpieces are tried.	87-PP52	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	8	64.4kg	17 16/1
