9th	1	—	Siege Of Acres (G) H No real impact in a trio of starts in this sphere last season and couldn't build on encouraging chase debut in 2 outings over the larger obstacles. Reverts to hurdling with something to prove.	6463F0-	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	5	75.3kg	23 22/1
—	2	—	Greer Hill (G) Pulled Up T Runner-up sole outing in Irish points but down the field in all 3 completed starts over hurdles. Tongue strap on first time.	6P-P815	Sean Quinlan J Candlish	5	74.4kg	11 10/1
6th	3	—	Vinnie O'Neil (G) Only one effort of note in his qualifying runs and finished well beaten in both handicap outings.	P4897-6	Jack Andrews S Allwood	6	73kg	51 50/1
2nd	4	—	Asta La Vista (G) Found improvement when third at Wetherby in March and likely undone by steady pace when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (2m, good, 9/2) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Likely has more to offe…	44835-	David Bass C E Longsdon	5	73kg	9 8/1
3rd	5	—	Peace In The Park (G) Yet to score but arrives on back of creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (18/1) over similar trip at Taunton 24 days ago and can race off same mark here. Respected.	062753-	Thomas Bellamy D J Jeffreys	6	72.6kg	7 6/1
4th	6	—	Nevershedatear (M) H Winning pointer who showed first form under Rules when runner-up over C&D in March. Couldn't repeat that form at Sedgefield last month but can't be ruled out back here.	577U25-	C J Todd O Greenall & J Guerriero	5	71.7kg	9 8/1
8th	7	—	My Fortune (G) Showed first real form when fourth at Kempton in January. Not really built on that in handicaps since but is in good hands and has had a breathing operation since his last outing.	65F475-	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	70.8kg	10 9/1
1st	8	—	Dream's Ka (G) FAV T Upped in trip and posted best effort yet when good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (2½m, good) 12 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and merits consideration.	07-2121	Harry Skelton D Skelton	4	70.3kg	3.50 5/2
—	9	—	Vesalius (G) Pulled Up Little impact in a trio of bumpers and maiden hurdles. Remains to be seen if switch to handicapping brings about improvement.	65/563-P	Isabelle Ryder F Brennan	5	68.9kg	29 28/1
7th	10	—	Dante's Inferno (G) Seemingly didn't take to fences at Uttoxeter in October but made the frame in a trio of handicap hurdles previously and is worth monitoring in the market on return with step back up in trip in his fa…	3/4344-7	Tabitha Worsley T Culhane & S Barclay	7	67.6kg	12 11/1
5th	11	—	Mr Mahler (G) Still to get his head in front and has been expensive to follow on the back of his promising chase reappearance at Southwell in October. Returns to smaller obstacles now and others are more convincin…	44256-5	Danny McMenamin J Parkinson & S Smith	8	67.1kg	5 4/1
