—	1	—	Phantomofthepoints (G) Pulled Up TP Useful hurdler who produced a career best to win handicap at Warwick (21f) in February. Out of depth in a Fontwell Grade 2 since and should be a lot more competitive back in a handicap.	4-3F415	Rian Corcoran D Pipe	8	76.2kg	15 14/1
—	2	—	Jony R (G) Pulled Up H Fairly useful maiden/novice winner over 17f at Down Royal this season. Creditable fourth at listed/Grade 3 level over 2m on last 2 outings and has some unexposed potential now moving into his first h…	1F7144	J J Slevin S R B Crawford	7	74.8kg	26 25/1
4th	3	—	The Four Sixes (G) Made all in corresponding race in 2025. Also scored twice over fences at the end of last year. Below par returned to hurdles in recent months but dangerous to rule out a revival given he's dipped to …	1P6074-	S Bowen O Murphy	8	74.8kg	9 8/1
2nd	4	—	Came From Nowhere (G) FAV T Lightly raced 7-y-o who has been much improved since handicapping, winning around 19f at Hereford and Ascot in midwinter. Travelled powerfully and likely would have won but for a mistake at last when…	3-32112	Lorcan Williams J Scott	7	74.8kg	4.50 7/2
6th	5	—	Spectacularsunrise (G) Imposing sort who has taken well to hurdling, winning Bangor novice and Kelso handicap. However, only ninth when backed into 3/1 favourite for the ultra-competitive Morebattle back at Kelso at the en…	311269	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	6	72.6kg	12 11/1
—	6	—	Sanilam (G) Pulled Up H Landed the third success of a productive first campaign over hurdles when seeing off 9 rivals in a Go North series final at Musselburgh (2½m, good) last month, his first start in a handicap. Also sco…	631411	C O'Farrell A M Thomson	6	72.6kg	9 8/1
—	7	—	Saracen Beau (G) Low-mileage 7-y-o who added to his 2024 course novice win when comfortably seeing off 6 rivals in a 21f Doncaster handicap (good to soft) last month. Raised 7 lb for that but further progress can't b…	1P3/231-	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	7	72.6kg	8 7/1
—	8	—	Serious Operator (G) T Capitalised on a sliding mark in 6-runner handicap at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft) in November. Good second of 8 at Aintree (2½m again) next time and found 2m on the sharp side in the Morebattle at …	6-43120	P W Wadge L Russell & M Scudamore	9	72.1kg	26 25/1

3rd	10	—	A Perfect Day (G) FAV Won 23f Lingfield handicap (good) in December and has encouragingly in defeat on much softer ground since, going down only to subsequent Aintree winner Wellington Arch at Uttoxeter (2½m) last time. L…	1-31352	Thomas Bellamy Ben Clarke	6	70.8kg	4.50 7/2
—	11	—	Eagles Reprieve (G) Pulled Up Bumper winner who has made nice progress over hurdles, winning twice over 21f at Kelso this season, latterly a novice by 9 lengths 4 weeks ago. Likely capable of even better now moving into his first…	22-2121	Jack Power L Russell & M Scudamore	5	69.4kg	5.50 9/2
—	12	—	Captain Butler (G) Pulled Up Bumper/maiden hurdle winner for Pauline Robson. Mostly creditable efforts in defeat in handicap hurdles/chases this season, shaping well (not clear run) when fourth of 14 in a Go North series final o…	5-26454	Jamie Hamilton Ruth Jefferson	8	69.4kg	10 9/1
5th	13	—	Minella Missile (G) P Impressive winner of 21f Grade 2 at Cheltenham as novice in 2023 but has largely since, including finishing well behind the reopposing A Perfect Day at Uttoxeter last time.	0455P7	Conor Ring Mrs C Williams	8	68kg	19 18/1
1st	14	—	Knomorediamonds (G) Won a 2½m Hexham handicap (heavy) and has run with credit in defeat on all 3 completed starts since. Will almost certainly need to find a bit of improvement if he's to win a race as competitive as th…	6-1U243	Alan Doyle L Russell & M Scudamore	6	68kg	26 25/1
