3rd	1	—	Ballyhiho (M) FAV T Showed improved form under an enterprising front-running ride when seeing off 9 rivals at Worcester (2½m, good) at the end of August. Backed that up when going close over the same C&D next time and a…	412345-	R P McLernon D J Jeffreys	5	76.2kg	2.50 6/4
—	2	—	Ami Bondhu (G) Bumper winner who ran with credit on several occasions over hurdles last term, including when second of 8 in handicap at Fontwell (21.8f, heavy) in February. Let down by his jumping as much as anythi…	342-033	James Davies N J Gifford	6	76.2kg	8 7/1
2nd	3	—	Feet On The Ground (M) Free-going maiden hurdler who was beaten a long way when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy, 11/5) 17 days ago. Up in trip.	P04P-36	J J Burke F O'Brien	7	75.7kg	6.50 11/2
