2nd	1	—	Greedy Smith (G) P Hasn't given any cause for encouragement in 2 handicaps this year so needs first-time cheekpieces to make a difference.	777P92-	Kielan Woods J & A O'Neill	6	76.2kg	34 33/1
12th	2	—	Pillar The Poet (G) H Modest at best in 3 maiden hurdles for Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole last spring. Placed in a point in November and offered something to work on went fourth of 9 in 19f Taunton handicap hurdle on…	65-6340	Mr D Andrews I Chanin	6	74.8kg	19 18/1
1st	3	—	Blue In The West (G) FAV Long-standing maiden. Placed twice in 23f course handicaps under Shane Quinlan last month and claims if he can shrug off a poor run at Chepstow 12 days ago.	32P12-3	Shane Quinlan B Lund	9	73.5kg	5 4/1
6th	4	—	Urban Isle (G) FAV No impact in maiden/novice hurdles this winter but was placed in a bumper last season and no surprise were he to take a step forward now handicapping over a longer trip after a 12-week break. One to …	83/5876-	J J Burke H Morrison	5	73kg	5 4/1
3rd	5	—	Edna E Mode (M) P Fair form when reaching the frame twice in handicap hurdles last spring but has run well below that level in 2 outings on return this spring. Reportedly bled at Huntingdon last time.	4803-73	C Gethings R Stephens	5	72.1kg	26 25/1
9th	6	—	Noble Grace (M) P Encouraging start to career when second of 18 in bumper at Cheltenham last spring but yet to offer much over hurdles, including pulling up in both handicaps. Still relatively early days and perhaps t…	4741	James Bowen W Greatrex	5	71.7kg	19 18/1
5th	7	—	Vengeance (G) T Not disgraced in a couple of handicaps at Wincanton since returning from an absence for this yard and being eased another 2 lb can only help.	P4554-3	C O'Farrell J D Frost	8	71.2kg	13 12/1
—	8	—	Locked Down Lad (G) Pulled Up P Placed in his first 5 handicaps, including 3 times under Callum Pritchard. Shaped better than sixth of 11 suggests at Chepstow in February. No obvious excuses when only eighth of 10 back there since …	BU68P-6	Callum Pritchard J Tickle	6	71.2kg	6 5/1
4th	9	—	Klervia (M) P Placed in novice hurdles around 2m on good ground for Barry Brennan last spring but hasn't reproduced that form in 3 handicaps since, including on recent first outing for Fergal O'Brien after 9 month…	04P-537	Tom Broughton F O'Brien	6	71.2kg	10 9/1
7th	10	—	Man Oh Man (G) TP Still looking for a first victory. Placed in a pair of 19f Taunton handicaps this winter but ran poorly over 2m there with cheekpieces added last month. Now steps up in trip with a first-time tongue …	P72-592	Bryan Carver D Summersby	7	68.5kg	15 14/1
11th	11	—	Future Times (G) Maiden under both codes. Off 20 months, reached the frame for the first time over hurdles when fourth of 11 at Taunton (19f, good to soft) in March but only eighth at Wincanton a fortnight later.	6/86-480	Mr Jack Stenhouse G F Edwards	6	65.3kg	19 18/1
8th	12	—	Dawn's Desire (M) FAV Low-mileage mare who showed her first sign of promise when third over 2¾m at Fontwell (soft) 24 days ago. Possible she can build on that with Ben Jones taking the reins for the first time.	0-94643	Freddie Gingell R Walford	6	64.4kg	5 4/1
10th	13	—	Alderley Charlie (G) TP Remains with little form. Has a first-time tongue tie added to the cheekpieces he's worn recently.	PFPP0-2	Tabitha Worsley P Gundry	6	64.4kg	81 80/1
