Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Zhang Fei (G) Dual hurdles winner but it's hard to enthuse over his most recent efforts, including on the Flat.	26/67-45	Fern O'Brien F O'Brien	8	76.2kg	13 12/1
7th	2	—	Book of Secrets (G) FAV HT Easing in the weights and while he failed to justify support in a refitted tongue strap at Newcastle (17f, good) on most recent outing, he isn't one to write off, especially now returning to Cartmel …	78774-7	Leah Noreci James Moffatt	8	75.3kg	3 2/1
—	2	—	Inca Prince (G)	52/6432-	— Ruth Jefferson	8	75.7kg	—
8th	3	—	Zamond (G) Back on the scoreboard at Sedgefield in September and beaten only by a gambled-on rival at Newcastle (17f) on final outing in November. Likely to be thereabouts if picking up where he left off.	1482-82	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	10	73.9kg	13 12/1
9th	4	—	Justlikefire (G) T Showed up well to a point after 11 weeks off when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (2m, soft) 18 days ago. Tongue strap tried and worth considering with a recent outing under his belt.	0/4P2F-2	Sean Quinlan J Candlish	7	73.9kg	5.50 9/2
6th	5	—	Mojo Ego (G) P Found some form for the refitting of blinkers last season, finishing runner-up in back-to-back C&D handicaps. Probably needed the run after 5 months off at Aintree recently and entitled to strip fitt…	248-761	Charlotte Jones James Moffatt	6	73.5kg	8 7/1
5th	6	—	Frank Stamper (G) Fair Flat maiden who ran his best race in this sphere when second of 5 in handicap at Fontwell (2¼m) last month, going like the best horse at the weights but unable to hang on after a last-to-first m…	47272-6	James Bowen W Greatrex	4	73kg	11 10/1
—	6	—	Merry Shuil (M)	4/9725-6	— J Candlish	8	73.5kg	—
2nd	7	—	Character Testing (G) T Fair Flat winner who went very close to opening his hurdling account at Market Rasen in January, edged out near finish. However, has failed to repeat that form since.	948/789	Jamie Hamilton M Walford	5	72.6kg	11 10/1
11th	8	—	Silent Revolution (G) T Ex Paul Nicholls inmate who hasn't shown much for some time. Could only consider if backed even with Sean Bowen in the saddle.	45/6P77-	S Bowen B J Murphy	10	68.9kg	34 33/1
—	8	—	Starman (G)	P2PP7-4	Mr F Foster Miss J E Foster	10	73kg	—
—	9	—	Restandbethankful (G) Pulled Up TP Irresolute performer who continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, including when pulling up in handicap chase at Sedgefield on most recent outing. Enough to prov…	604P5P-	Peter Kavanagh Lizzie Quinlan	10	66.2kg	29 28/1
1st	10	—	Alvesta (M) Maiden who again finished well held back down in trip at Hexham (2m, soft, 25/1) 18 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.	446-713	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	5	65.3kg	17 16/1
4th	11	—	Mr Globalist (G) P Long-standing maiden who had no chance at the weights when a well-held third in 6-runner selling hurdle at Hexham (2m, good) 25 days ago.	5-34463	Alan Doyle Lizzie Quinlan	7	64.4kg	15 14/1
—	11	—	Alibey (F)	5542-22	Tabitha Worsley Dylan Cunha	4	72.6kg	—
—	12	—	Mr Rumbalicious (G) Pulled Up B C&D winner in August 2023 but hasn't added to his tally since and again offered little at Newcastle on most recent outing. Hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking improvement.	5F80P7-	William Maggs James Moffatt	7	64.4kg	12 11/1
—	12	—	Raffles Nobu (G)	P34213	— Nick Scholfield	6	71.7kg	—
10th	13	—	Hashtag Queen (M) P Poor in bumpers and hasn't offered any encouragement in 3 runs over hurdles. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces for handicap debut.	34708-5	Joshua Thompson Micky Hammond	5	64.4kg	101 100/1
