5th	1	—	Hooper (G) Quirky sort who ended his time with Nicky Henderson out of sorts. Sold for only £3,500 and can only be watched returning from 16 months off with his usual headgear discarded.	349P/52	Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell N & W Twiston-Davies	10	76.2kg	17 16/1
1st	2	—	Pergamon (G) FAV PT Soundly beaten on first couple of handicap hurdles but found a chunk of improvement returning from 5 months off when winning 8-runner event at Huntingdon just over 5 weeks ago, seeming well suited by…	21/8837-	William Shanahan J Candlish	5	75.7kg	2.20 6/5
7th	3	—	The Tide Turns (G) PT No impact on all 3 starts for new yard, the latest returning from a 5-month break.	0F0/PP9-	Lewis Stones Stephen Allen	8	75.3kg	151 150/1
6th	4	—	Soleil D'arizona (M) HT Three-time hurdle winner from the front in 2025. Below par on first 2 starts back from a break in February but took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in 2m Stratford handicap in Mar…	156053/	Harry Skelton D Skelton	6	75.3kg	4 3/1
2nd	5	—	Zucayan (G) T Has an excellent record here (all three career wins over C&D), most recently in this corresponding race last season. Struggled on the level towards the back end of last season but back on song when s…	504990-	Nick Slatter F O'Brien	9	72.1kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	6	—	Ufouria (M) T Bumper winner in Ireland and bits and pieces of promise for this yard over hurdles, shaped a little better than the distance beaten suggested when tenth of 13 in handicap at Stratford (19f, good to s…	47640-3	J J Burke A Ralph	8	70.3kg	9 8/1
4th	7	—	Lord Cauvelliere (G) Point bumper winner landed a Stratford bumper on his Rules debut and was only narrowly denied under a penalty at Bangor last June. Nowhere near that level in 3 starts over hurdles but may well prove …	12577-4	Callum Pritchard Sheila Lewis	5	68.5kg	9 8/1

Betting forecast: Pergamon (6/5), Soleil D'arizona (3/1), Zucayan (11/2), Ufouria (8/1), Lord Cauvelliere (8/1), Hooper (16/1), The Tide Turns (150/1)
