6th	1	—	Rioja Alta (G) B Winner at Sedgefield in February and coped well with the greater emphasis on stamina when notching second victory of 2025 at Cartmel (2¾m, heavy) during the summer. Probably needed the run back from …	176335-	B S Hughes Micky Hammond	5	76.2kg	19 18/1
—	2	—	Piaff Bubbles (G) HT Off for nearly 2 years prior to last term, but made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts and again proved that the fire still burns bright when third of 12 on recent return at Hexham (2½m, good to soft), w…	344-3P5	Nathan Moscrop R Menzies	9	75.7kg	7 6/1
1st	3	—	Buzz Iceclear (G) FAV Much improved for step up to 3m when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Ayr (soft) at the beginning of this month. 5 lb rise by no means the end of the world, especially since he's un…	67-1138	Jamie Hamilton M Walford	5	73.5kg	2.10 11/10
3rd	4	—	Streamsforth Lad (G) T Winless following 9 runs over hurdles, but has acquitted himself pretty well all 3 starts since joining present yard, particularly so when a close third at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 12 days ago. On tha…	3UUF22	Jack Hogan G Hanmer	7	73kg	9 8/1
—	5	—	Poetry Man (G) P Bagged a handicap chase off a 4 lb lower mark at Catterick during the 2024 Christmas period, but the evidence available suggests that he's not as good in this sphere (unplaced from 4 starts over hurd…	PP-P357	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	7	72.6kg	15 14/1
5th	6	—	It's Maisy (M) Won 3 handicap hurdles (up to 25.3f) on deep ground in 2024 and ran right up to her best returned to this sphere when fourth in a 12-runner handicap at Uttoxeter on final start last season. Not at he…	842431-	Peter Kavanagh J Parkinson & S Smith	7	72.1kg	5 4/1
2nd	7	—	Farmer Jimmy (G) Much improved for a switch to handicaps over a longer trip when opening his account upped to 19.7f here (heavy) in February. Excuses since (ground too lively on return here last month and probably ne…	724P76	Charlie Maggs M Walford	5	71.7kg	4.50 7/2
—	8	—	Snowrocco (M) Placed in an Irish point and signed off last term with her best effort yet, finishing second in 7-runner handicap over this C&D. First run since undergoing a wind op when running poorly in the Ayr ha…	2-91140	Ryan Mania A Nicol	6	70.8kg	17 16/1
4th	9	—	Star Vantage (G) T Long-standing maiden who returned to his best when runner-up at Cartmel in May. Below that level when sixth of 8 on return from a break at Hexham (23.3f, heavy), but he's on a workable mark and this …	54445-4	Ross Chapman R Menzies	8	69.4kg	19 18/1
—	10	—	Always A Reason (G) Off thew mark in maiden points at the fifth attempt last spring. Initial efforts under Rules were low-key and while he's shown more spark in handicaps at around 2½m the last twice, more will be neede…	121152	Ross Chapman R Menzies	6	69.4kg	11 10/1
7th	11	—	Dillarchie (M) TP Scored at Sedgefield in February 2024, but not easy to catch right since and was safely held when recently returning from a year off at Hexham.	23111-4	Sean Quinlan Miss J E Foster	8	67.6kg	23 22/1
—	12	—	Rebel Intentions (G) TP Form tailed off for Emma Lavelle after landing a Kempton handicap last October and hasn't shown much in 3 starts for present connections.	7P32P6	Craig Nichol Annabelle Sowray	8	66.7kg	26 25/1
