3rd	1	—	Times Are Green (G) Fell on Newbury handicap debut and looked hesitant with his jumping when pulled up at Haydock in first-time cheekpieces since. The headgear is quickly discarded. Has something to prove at present.	5/727FP-	C J Todd Miss E C Lavelle	6	76.2kg	23 22/1
—	2	—	Constantinian (G) Pulled Up T Fairly useful bumper winner who is getting better over hurdles and shaped as if he may be ready for this sort of trip when rallying into third on 19f Carlisle handicap debut in March. Open to further…	31/243-	James Davies O Signy	6	75.3kg	5 4/1
1st	3	—	Parliamo (G) Made a sound enough start to his handicap career when fourth of 8 at Bangor (23f, good to soft) 35 days ago, although he didn't find much off the bridle. More will be needed.	43/8644-	Mr D Andrews Mrs M Rowley	6	75.3kg	5 4/1
—	4	—	Les's Destiny Star (G) Pulled Up Debut bumper winner. Yet to better modest form over hurdles but latest 5 lengths third (Star Turn second) of 14 over C&D shows he can be competitive from his mark.	P843-PP	Ben Jones B Pauling	7	71.7kg	4.33 10/3
—	5	—	Hillwalk (G) Featured much more prominently in the market when runner-up behind a thriving mare on handicap debut at Chepstow (19f, good) 24 days ago. His yard excels with this type and he could open his account …	23/3472-	C O'Farrell N P Mulholland	6	71.7kg	6 5/1
4th	6	—	Dessie Haze (G) Came good in 3m Chepstow handicap last month but a 6 lb rise was enough to find him out over C&D since.	3/47616-	Conor Ring P C Dando	8	71.2kg	12 11/1
—	7	—	Jaja Jimmy (G) PT Placed in a bumper in 2024 but hasn't made any impact over hurdles to date.	5/U584P-	Thomas Bellamy Miss J S Davis	6	67.1kg	26 25/1
—	8	—	Colby Mayfield (G) Unseated Rider Lightly-raced 6-y-o who left previous efforts behind when 11 lengths third on 2¾m Stratford handicap debut (soft) in March. Shaped better than the result when fifth of 15 over 3m at Chepstow since. C…	58935-	Sam Twiston-Davies J L Flint	6	65.8kg	7 6/1
2nd	9	—	Star Turn (G) FAV TV Maiden who made a cracking return from an absence in first-time headgear (retained) when second of 14 over C&D (soft) 23 days ago. Player if in the same form.	70P/2-22	S Bowen M Bowen	6	65.8kg	4.20 16/5
