5th	1	—	Santos Blue (G) T Likeable type who bagged 3m handicap hurdle here in February on his final run for Dan Skelton. Has a career-high mark to overcome on his stable debut/return but still needs considering.	521-562	Ben Sutton O Murphy	8	76.2kg	41 40/1
—	2	—	Dargiannini (G) Pulled Up T Resumed winning ways after 9 months off in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 43 days ago, battling well. This C&D winner can make his presence felt despite a 3 lb rise.	425-1PP	Paul O'Brien Harry Derham	10	75.7kg	34 33/1
1st	3	—	French Ship (G) Successful 3 times last season and made amends for an unlucky Chepstow return when scoring in good style in 20-runner handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f) 36 days ago. Hiked up 8 lb but he has more to offer…	F117U0	H Cobden P Hobbs & J White	5	73.5kg	3.75 11/4
3rd	4	—	Lud'or (G) FAV French recruit who resumed from 9 months off with a much-improved all-the-way win in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Hit with a 13 lb rise now but still can't be disco…	212-133	Caoilin Quinn T Symonds	5	73.5kg	3.25 9/4
9th	5	—	East India Express (G) Enjoyed an excellent 2024/25, notching his third victory at Cheltenham in April. Turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m handicap here 23 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.	1-FP920	Freddie Gordon N J Henderson	6	73kg	17 16/1
12th	6	—	Sonigino (G) T A very useful winning 2m4f hurdler at his best but he's been off the track for 19 months. Returns after breathing surgery and this is no easy comeback so others appeal more.	P0/0301-	Miss Olive Nicholls P F Nicholls	8	73kg	34 33/1
—	7	—	No Ordinary Joe (G) Pulled Up T Winless since 2022 but useful on his day for Nicky Henderson. Well held on both runs for his current yard, latest only 15th in 2m Cheltenham handicap 13 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.	—	K Brogan Faye Bramley	9	73kg	51 50/1
2nd	8	—	Guard Duty (G) H Looked on the up when scoring over C&D but he jumped none too fluently when a below-form ninth of 17 in handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f) later in March. Needs to hit the ground running after 8 months of…	119-231	G Sheehan Miss E C Lavelle	8	72.6kg	15 14/1
—	9	—	Personal Ambition (G) Pulled Up A useful winning hurdler in 2023/24. Failed to add to that over fences last term but he shaped well back in this sphere when fourth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (20f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs consid…	P/4P51P-	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	70.8kg	7 6/1
6th	10	—	Royal Rambler (G) Lightly-raced 2m4f winner over hurdles who resumed from 8 months off with an encouraging fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, soft) 14 days ago. Can take a step forward now.	612-562	J J Burke Miss E C Lavelle	5	69.4kg	13 12/1
11th	11	—	Kepler's Law (G) Quick to make into a fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Laura Morgan last season. Caught the eye under a patient ride for his new yard when fourth of 11 to Lud'or in handicap at Bangor (19.6f, hea…	318-408	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	6	68.5kg	19 18/1
10th	12	—	Benign Dictator (G) A fairly useful hurdles winner (at up to 3m) but he's been off the track for 22 months since posting a good second at Uttoxeter. The market can prove an accurate guide on his comeback.	2/01476	Joshua Bryan O Murphy	8	66.2kg	101 100/1
8th	13	—	Loverdose (G) P French Flat winner who has thrived since sent over hurdles, scoring for the fourth time at Sandown in January. Returned from 8 months off with a very good second of 7 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, …	2112-28	Harry Kimber R Walford	6	65.8kg	9.50 17/2
7th	14	—	Dominic's Fault (G) Looked on the up when scoring at Lingfield (2m) last December. Still in contention when brought down 3 out at Sandown following month and there should be more to come from this lightly raced 8-y-o. I…	13/21B-7	S Bowen O Murphy	8	65.8kg	13 12/1
4th	15	—	Torquay Road (G) Irish raider who arrives in top form, scoring at Sligo and Galway in the autumn before a good seventh off an 11 lb higher mark in 2m handicap at Cheltenham last time. Possibilities.	74362/7	Jordan Gainford C Collins	6	64.9kg	67 66/1
