—	2	—	Dropematthestation (G) T Winning pointer who has shown fair form on all 3 outings over hurdles, including in a first-time tongue strap when third at Doncaster on latest outing. Has since undergone a breathing operation and e…	4/1-4433	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	72.1kg	5 4/1
6th	3	—	Graeme The Grey (G) Placed on 2 of his 3 outings in bumpers but looks one for later on in this sphere judged on his opening effort at this course 12 days ago.	24-34	Tabitha Worsley N J Gifford	6	72.1kg	51 50/1
1st	4	—	Hardly Surprising (G) FAV T €80,000 half-brother to smart Fiddlerontheroof. Won sole start in Irish point last spring and again showed promise when third in a Doncaster maiden in January. Ideally wants further but with his form…	1-533	Bryan Carver H Fry	5	72.1kg	1.73 8/11
5th	5	—	Jetaway Holiday (G) T £65,000 Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Listen And Learn. Beat only other finisher sole start in points and failed to meet expectations starti…	15	N de Boinville N J Henderson	5	72.1kg	9.50 17/2
7th	6	—	Knight Templar (G) H Authorized gelding who was placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points but has run to just a poor level in a pair of maiden hurdles, pulling hard at Fontwell on latest start.	3/F-08	Harry Bannister R Bandey	6	72.1kg	29 28/1
11th	7	—	Maximum Benefit (G) Offered a tad more than previously when fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle at this course on most recent outing, albeit ridden with more dash than some.	56045	Finn Lambert Miss J S Davis	5	72.1kg	34 33/1
9th	8	—	Snowski (G) P Showed nothing on last month's debut at Plumpton. Cheekpieces quickly applied.	P9-	M Goldstein K Jewell	5	72.1kg	251 250/1
10th	9	—	Style De Folie (G) T Has a good pedigree but in a tongue strap (having already undergone a breathing operation), made an underwhelming start to his career in a course bumper on Boxing Day.	506-	Joe Anderson Jamie Snowden	5	72.1kg	51 50/1
2nd	10	—	Testing Patience (G) Well held in 2 bumpers and was probably flattered by his proximity in a small-field novice at Kempton on hurdles bow 16 days ago.	38342	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	6	72.1kg	11 10/1
—	11	—	Cockney Cleopatra (M) Pulled Up H Fell on debut in October but has shaped with clear promise on both outings subsequently, latterly in 9-runner maiden at Clonmel in November. Has since left P. M. J. Doyle and appeals as the type to d…	F55P-P	R P McLernon J & S Best	5	68.9kg	29 28/1
4th	12	—	Porridge (M) Of no account and easily passed over.	PPP4-88	Oscar Palmer Tracey Leeson	6	68.9kg	251 250/1
8th	13	—	Mega Etoile (F) No impact in 2 bumpers and looks up against it on hurdling debut.	4084-3	R T Dunne Miss H C Knight	4	64.4kg	81 80/1
