6th	1	—	The Brave Guy (G) FAV Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped as if the run was needed after 5 months off when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Hexham (2m) 42 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap debut and could have more to off…	3/79-5	Sean Quinlan J Candlish	6	75.3kg	3.50 5/2

7th	2	—	Ballynoe Boy (G) Placed in a pair of good-ground bumpers and improved on low-key maiden/novice hurdle form when in the frame in handicaps at Doncaster and Market Rasen late in 2025. Needs considering after a break.	96843-7	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	6	74.8kg	6 5/1

1st	4	—	Kayla's Friend (M) T Looked unlucky not to win an Irish point but seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind for new yard, patiently ridden when fifth of 9 in 2m Worcester novice last month. Could take a step f…	U03-651	S Bowen O Murphy	6	73.9kg	7.50 13/2
8th	5	—	No Risk Today (M) T Fetched £100,000 after winning an Irish point. Well held first 2 runs but better signs when sixth in maiden hurdles at Warwick and Worcester last month, going on well at the finish on latter occasion…	50-6682	Jack Hogan F O'Brien	6	73.9kg	15 14/1

9th	6	—	Winston's Oath (G) Showed a bit on bumper debut but yet to kick on over hurdles, coming in a remote third of 4 on his handicap debut at Fakenham (2½m, good to firm) 13 days ago.	44	Tabitha Worsley Dylan Cunha	4	68.9kg	34 33/1
4th	7	—	Fane Court (G) Winning pointer but yet to make an impact over hurdles and pulled up on his chasing debut at Exeter (2m) in March final run for Ben Lund. Has lots to prove for his new yard.	74P-432	Thomas Bellamy D J Jeffreys	8	68.9kg	12 11/1
—	8	—	Onehundredneighty (G) Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Gambled on making his debut for Ben Pauling (formerly with Max Young) when fourth of 8 in handicap at Warwick (2m) 24 days ago, nearest at the finish.

2nd	9	—	Mya Du Clos (F) Lightly-raced maiden. First form when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (2½m) 24 days ago. Needs to build on it.	8555-42	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	4	68kg	26 25/1
—	9	—	Dublinofficecallin (G)	6071-70	— Kerry Lee	5	73.5kg	—
11th	10	—	Saint Vic (G) Remains a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f) 16 days ago. No forlorn hope.	37/7-250	Lewis Stones A Day	7	67.6kg	6 5/1
—	10	—	Jessie Jump Jet (M)	383-222	R T Dunne S Drinkwater	6	73kg	—
5th	11	—	Saucats (G) TP Long-standing maiden but he ran one of his much better races (cheekpieces fitted) with second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¼m) 17 days ago. Needs to back it up now with headgear retained…	4-25512	Callum Pritchard J Tickle	5	67.6kg	7 6/1

3rd	12	—	Babychino (F) Runner-up in a Flat seller. Maiden hurdler but not disgraced when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (2m) 24 days ago. More needed though stepping up in trip if she's to get off the mark.	773-P53	Ms Sophie Carter A Gibbons	4	65.8kg	17 16/1
—	12	—	Locked Down Lad (G)	BU68P-6	Callum Pritchard J Tickle	6	71.2kg	—
