6th	1	—	Havefunontherun (G) T Worcester maiden winner this time last year and improved again making a quick switch to a handicap when second of 5 over C&D in November. Upped another 4f but that proved too much of a slog for him a…	4/1427-6	Fern O'Brien F O'Brien	6	77.1kg	7.50 13/2
5th	2	—	Ballygeary (G) T Winless since June 2024 but he did at least post one of his better efforts from easing mark when keeping on for third at Doncaster (21f) in March. Quickly reverted to being held back by his attitude …	6736-53	William Maggs M E Sowersby	9	75.7kg	12 11/1
1st	3	—	Duffry Trixs (G) FAV Got off the mark in a Taunton maiden last February. Had failed to make much impact in handicap company until a fine second of 8 at Fontwell (19f, good) last month, clear of rest. Looks up to going on…	1/35062-	Harry Bannister R Bandey	7	75.7kg	2.75 7/4
—	4	—	Heard That (G) B Successful 3 times over fences at up to 3m in 2024/25. However, his profile this season has been much more miss than hit, tailed off at Perth last month. Bowen back on and hopes pinned on a change of…	PP3627-	S Bowen O Murphy	7	75.3kg	9 8/1
7th	5	—	Sutherland (G) P Fair form in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and has performed well on a few occasions for new yard over hurdles, including when third of 7 at Bangor (2½m, good) last month. Handicapper rather generously…	520353-	Jack Andrews T Ellis	6	75.3kg	6.50 11/2
—	6	—	Prairie Diamond (G) Pulled Up V Possibly transformed in a first-time visor when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2½m, good) just under 6 weeks ago, racing clear having jumped more fluently than usual. Handicapper too…	6/U4371-	Freddie Keighley M Keighley	7	73.9kg	7.50 13/2
—	7	—	Shengai Enki (G) Pulled Up Fairly useful winning hurdler for previous yard but few positives to take from his 3 runs for present connections, tailed off at Bangor recently.	224/7P5-	James Best F Brennan	7	73.5kg	51 50/1
4th	8	—	Eternity Rose (G) From a good jumping family and made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers. Progressed in each run in maiden hurdles, third of 7 at Wincanton (15f, good) most recently, and he's expected to be seen in an …	3/43053-	Liam Harrison F O'Brien	5	73kg	13 12/1
—	9	—	Madajovy (G) Pulled Up Maiden but he was knocking at the door this winter with a couple of runner-up efforts. Failed to fire at Exeter (2¾m, good to soft) 8 weeks ago and has since left Dan Skelton (£4,500).	7227-P2	J M Quinlan L Allan	6	73kg	41 40/1
2nd	10	—	Copper Beach (G) T Failed to take to chasing but ran well returned to hurdling when second of 10 at Catterick (25f, good) back in December 2024, left with too much to do. Clearly had his issues to not have been seen si…	5P2/225	Oscar Palmer J Parkinson & S Smith	9	68.5kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	11	—	Ballela Blaze (G) Point winner. Still a maiden under Rules but firmly knocking at the door with a couple of runner-up efforts when last seen 13 months ago. Will probably need this returning over an inadequate trip.	8322/37	David Noonan T Gallagher	8	65.8kg	21 20/1
