Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Shalfa (M) Fair 1¼m Flat winner has steadily progressed on the figures over hurdles, promising more than she delivered when (blinkered) fifth of 7 on handicap bow at Wincanton. Given a chance by the handicapper…	70/2418-	M Goldstein Mrs L Richards	7	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	2	—	Goodwin Face (G) FAV Low mileage 6-y-o seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train, but he did finish a narrow second to a subsequent winner over C&D in May. Found less than looked likely that day but could still go close…	73/22-11	Tom Cannon C Gordon	6	74.8kg	3.75 11/4
4th	3	—	Pottersmattyeeehaa (G) FAV Hit the frame for the fourth consecutive handicap start when fourth of 14 at Huntingdon (2m4½f) last time. Well backed on that occasion and the drop to this intermediate trip may see him get his head…	543244-	J M Quinlan M Crawley	5	73kg	3.75 11/4
8th	4	—	Voix De Bocelli (G) C&D fourth in December has worked out reasonably well and though disappointing on the all-weather last time, he could prove more competitive back over hurdles.	330897	Brendan Powell Miss H C Knight	6	72.6kg	7.50 13/2
9th	5	—	Major Major (G) PT Modest 3-time winner on Flat for Richard Hannon (stays 1½m) but fared no better for the switch to handicap hurdle here last time and hopes pinned on the application of first-time headgear in this sph…	57579	James Best Cynthia Woods	6	70.8kg	51 50/1
7th	6	—	Dream's Ka (G) T Showed potential first 2 hurdle starts but well held twice since, latest when sent off 40/1 on handicap debut at Wincanton. Interesting to see if market expects better with tongue strap on first time…	07-2121	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	4	70.8kg	6 5/1
6th	7	—	Definite (G) PT Poor maiden in this sphere and though hit and miss on Flat since returning from an absence, still worth a look in the betting on first hurdle start for yard among the winners.	63R44/P-	Freddie Mitchell G & J Moore	7	70.8kg	19 18/1
—	8	—	Arenas Del Tiempo (M) Blown more cold than hot on the Flat this year but still needs considering, having finished runner-up in pair of small-field handicap hurdles last spring.	16-6736	R P McLernon J & S Best	8	69.9kg	6 5/1
5th	9	—	Ballybay (G) HT Has clearly had issues and no show in 2 starts for new yard, latterly on chase debut at Huntingdon in December.	60P/PP5	Caoilin Quinn M McGrath	9	67.1kg	41 40/1
3rd	10	—	Pink 'n Purple (G) Hinted at ability in a bumper but little to shout about over hurdles, failing by a long chalk to justify support (6/1) on handicap debut here last time.	65655	Callum Pritchard J W Mullins	4	65.8kg	10 9/1
