—	1	—	Ballydisco (G) Pulled Up PT Winning hurdler/maiden chaser who's gone close on occasions in this sphere. Off 14 months and left Lucinda Russell before a creditable second at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) on return in May. This is…	2473U/2	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	9	76.2kg	5.50 9/2
—	2	—	Zestful Hope (G) Pulled Up P Gained a second chasing victory at Huntingdon in October but has been below form since. Continues to fall in the weights but needs to show some old spark before becoming of interest.	59563-4	James Bowen C E Longsdon	9	74.8kg	12 11/1
4th	3	—	Ribeye (G) Veteran who hit the target twice over fences in 2025 (including over C&D) but has been struggling for form since finishing second at Wetherby in November.	27P6-P4	Callum Bewley P Atkinson	11	72.6kg	21 20/1

—	6	—	Just A Memory (M) Pulled Up Modest chaser who won a 4-runner conditionals handicap at Newton Abbot in September. Rather in-and-out form since but has a chance back chasing if returning to the form that saw her finish second at …	14PP-23	Liam Harrison F O'Brien	7	69.9kg	19 18/1
3rd	7	—	Friends Don't Ask (G) P Unreliable type who had his run of placed efforts ended at Southwell last month before bouncing back at Bangor, though needed some early cajoling. Veteran who remains vulnerable for win purposes.	P-33242	Charlie Maggs C Ellam	11	67.6kg	10 9/1

1st	8	—	Huckleberry Sting (G) T Made a winning start to chasing at Bangor (3m) in April before shaping as if still ahead of his mark when placed on last 2 outings at Southwell. The hood is discarded here but he's one to be interest…	771-231	Jack Andrews T Ellis	7	66.7kg	4 3/1
5th	9	—	On The Platform (G) P Inconsistent performer but shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) in May after 19 months off. Needs to back it up.	3P1P/55	Lee Edwards B Clarke	10	65.8kg	13 12/1
