4th	1	—	Tommie Beau (G) Form figures over hurdles at this course read 122 and arrives on the back of a creditable 7½ lengths second in veteran chase at this track in late-May. Drop back in distance isn't ideal returned to h…	5686-12	Benjamin Macey J W Mullins	11	76.2kg	15 14/1
13th	2	—	Peaky Boy (G) BT Borderline useful novice hurdler in 2024, winning both starts at Cheltenham. Has shaped as if in good form over fences this year and no surprise to see him back over hurdles following a mixed round o…	F00-336	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	8	75.3kg	11 10/1
12th	3	—	Homme Public (G) PT Useful hurdler/chaser at his best. No show last season but hinted at a revival when third in Bangor handicap chase on the back of another breathing operation latest. Reverts to hurdling on lowest mar…	6660P-3	Jack Tudor O Greenall & J Guerriero	9	73.9kg	17 16/1

1st	4	—	Caughtinyourtrance (G) PT Winner of back-to-back maiden/novice races over C&D last summer and went close in handicap hurdle at Haydock over the winter. Returns to hurdling off 4 lb higher following narrow success in small-fie…	23P-221	B S Hughes James Moffatt	7	73.9kg	5.50 9/2
9th	5	—	Shantwopointfive (M) T Notched third win for Warren Greatrex in C&D handicap last May. Sold out of that yard for only £10,000 following a limp effort in listed company at Sandown in early-January and hardly a positive that…	4/1P52P-	Jonathan England S England	8	73kg	21 20/1
11th	6	—	Howdoyalikeherhome (G) BT Sole win came at this distance in novice handicap at Down Royal last May. Still to be asked for effort when falling 4 out in Roscommon claimer latest when fitted with a tongue strap (retained) for th…	PP-48F0	Sam Ewing G Elliott	7	72.1kg	41 40/1

6th	7	—	High Dancer (G) FAV P Winner of 21f maiden at Haydock for James Ewart last spring. Improved in cheekpieces for current yard, making amends for a near miss at Market Rasen (traded 1.01 in running) with a decisive win at He…	4203-21	Danny McMenamin N G Richards	6	71.7kg	3.50 5/2
5th	8	—	Oakley (G) Ground out a third win from his last 8 starts in Class 2 handicap at Uttoxeter last time. Career-high mark likely to prevent up a follow up, though.	44-1231	Conor Ring Mrs C Williams	8	70.3kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	9	—	Roaring Home (M) Completed a double in 2½m mares handicap at Aintree in May (form working out well). Narrowly denied hat-trick at Uttoxeter (23f) subsequently, but she's probably vulnerable off 4 lb higher in a highe…	P541-12	Sam Twiston-Davies H D Daly	7	68.9kg	9 8/1
8th	10	—	Dinons (G) P Veteran who showed plenty of ability remains when third at Hexham on return. Entitled to come on for that run, but this is a stronger race than he need contest nowadays.	5323U-3	Nathan Moscrop B Ellison	13	67.1kg	29 28/1
—	10	—	Johnson's Blue (G)	733P-35	— M Walford	9	70.8kg	—
3rd	11	—	Belles Benefit (M) B Veteran who capitalised on a reduced mark when making a convincing winning return over C&D last month. Clearly goes well fresh (won same race on reappearance in 2024), and she's probably worth taking…	1568-13	Harry Bannister B I Case	10	64.9kg	8.50 15/2

7th	12	—	Evenwood Sonofagun (G) PT Nearly made it a quick-fire course double for the second consecutive season in May. Sent off at much longer odds when well below that form over C&D last time though, and Sean Quinlan now looks elsewh…	076-126	G Sheehan Lizzie Quinlan	8	64.4kg	21 20/1

10th	13	—	Rauzan (G) TV Frustrating sort who placed in higher grade at Kelso last season. Change of tactics/headgear saw him overdo things over C&D on latest start. Since undergone a breathing operation and profile suggests…	0328-68	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	6	64.4kg	17 16/1
