2nd	1	—	Miss Kassiopi (M) T Maiden hurdler who was below par in 2 outings for new yard last month. The addition of a first-time tongue tie needs to help spark a revival.	213-721	G Sheehan R Bandey	6	76.2kg	7 6/1
1st	2	—	Low Expectations (G) FAV Improved to make a winning reappearance at Fontwell 16 days ago, proving well suited by a switch to front-running tactics. An 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.	6-11148	James Davies N J Gifford	5	75.7kg	2.20 6/5
3rd	3	—	Locked Down Lad (G) Placed in all 4 handicaps, with latest 2 lengths second at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) coming in a competitive 16-runner affair. Bold show likely.	BU68P-6	Callum Pritchard J Tickle	5	75.3kg	4 3/1
—	4	—	Brave Move (G) In good hands and ran his best race over hurdles when 14 lengths fourth of 12 on 19.5f Huntingdon handicap debut/reappearance 3 weeks ago. Could build on that. Respected.	8/4735-8	J J Burke F O'Brien	6	75.3kg	9 8/1
—	5	—	Arctic Stream (M) Pulled Up Showed a bit more when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in January. Stepping back up in trip for her handicap debut could see her take another step forward but peak fitness isn't …	596-P66	J M Quinlan R Bandey	8	75.3kg	51 50/1
5th	6	—	House Of Habsburg (G) Every chance when falling at last on final point start. Found 2m too sharp in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles in the spring but made a disappointing start to his handicap career at Ffos Las last mont…	405211	Freddie Mitchell Christian Williams	5	75.3kg	19 18/1
—	7	—	Graham (G) Pulled Up Fair Flat winner who was placed in 2m handicap hurdles in the spring. Below par on the Flat this summer and well beaten on completed start over hurdles this autumn.	7328-U7	Tom Cannon G & J Moore	5	74.8kg	15 14/1
6th	8	—	Gone In Sixty (G) Finally opened his account over hurdles at Fakenham in June and has continued in good form over both codes, finishing runner-up in Plumpton handicap chases last twice. Ought to figure again.	26-4F24	Kielan Woods A M Hales	8	73.5kg	15 14/1
—	9	—	D'gesteevo (G) Pulled Up P Hasn't shown much, including failing to complete in a couple of handicaps in the spring. Off 7 months.	0UP-PP9	Chad Bament J Scott	6	72.1kg	15 14/1
4th	10	—	Needtoknow (M) T Placed on first of 3 starts in Irish points but poor form at best over hurdles, including 17 lengths fourth in 3m Kempton handicap 13 days ago.	765444	James Best Joe Ponting	5	65.3kg	19 18/1
