7th	1	—	Bobby Socks (G) T Successful in a brace of 2½m handicaps in 2023. Made the frame on all 3 handicap starts the following season but is probably best watched on his return for a new stable (formerly with Olly Murphy) af…	11324/7	Alan Doyle Lizzie Quinlan	9	76.2kg	41 40/1
3rd	2	—	Stay In The Game (G) Knuckled down well to belatedly open his account in a match at Huntingdon in May and lost out only in a tight finish in a C&D handicap subsequently. Ought to remain competitive.	F0-9133	Paddy Hanlon J J Hanlon	5	75.7kg	15 14/1
—	3	—	Zephlyn (G) Pulled Up T Not quite firing on all cylinders so far this year on the Flat but ran as well as he has over hurdles making his handicap debut in this sphere when fourth at Perth (2½m) in April. Needs more, though.	9-69365	William Maggs Ewan Whillans	7	75.7kg	15 14/1
8th	4	—	Les's Legacy (G) BT 4-time course winner who went like the best horse at the weights in first-time blinkers (replacing usual cheekpieces) following a 9-week break when fourth of 12 in 21f handicap at Kelso on most recen…	6080-48	Jack Power S Corbett	9	73kg	6.50 11/2
4th	5	—	Character Testing (G) T Fair Flat winner who is still searching for a first success over hurdles but returned to form when shaking off all bar a winner who'd tumbled in the weights at Cartmel (17f) 17 days ago. Big chance w…	948/789	Tristan Durrell M Walford	5	71.7kg	5 4/1
2nd	6	—	Newport (G) P Posted back-to-back runner-up efforts this spring but found his run of good form coming to a halt at Kelso last time. Bounce back called for.	3400/54	Tom Midgley I Jardine	6	71.2kg	19 18/1
6th	7	—	Curious Mrs Fox (M) Poor maiden on the Flat but showed an aptitude for hurdling with in-frame finishes in mares maidens at Newcastle and Market Rasen this spring. However, was comfortably held making an early switch to …	43-664	Ellis Collier D Thompson	5	68.9kg	101 100/1
5th	8	—	National Question (G) P Resumed progress when successful at Carlisle in March, finishing ahead of 4 next-time-out winners. Not in the same form when sixth of 12 at Newcastle (2½m) last time but is probably worth another cha…	251516-	Joshua Thompson A Nicol	6	68kg	8 7/1
—	9	—	Malangen (G) FAV Unseated Rider Veteran who has slipped the field in a few races over the years, including at this course, and looked like he'd done so again for much of the way here (2½m) last week, still nearly 30 lengths ahead o…	232U28	Jack Stenhouse Miss L Harrison	11	65.3kg	2.63 13/8
1st	10	—	Snapaudaciaheros (M) PT Showed improved form in first-time cheekpieces to get off the mark over C&D in April but proved a major disappointment back here the following month. Needs to bounce back.	5851-P1	Charlie Maggs R Menzies	6	64.9kg	10 9/1
