—	1	—	Cadell (G) Pulled Up B Course regular who looked better than ever fitted with this headgear when making all here (23.4f) 4 weeks ago. Did blow hot and cold as a novice, however, so needs to back that up.	4-P1PPP	Jack Power L Russell & M Scudamore	7	76.2kg	15 14/1
1st	2	—	Grozni (G) VT Solid efforts over fences last season when sixth in Kim Muir at Cheltenham and fourth in Scottish National on final outing. Probably needed comeback run for new yard before emphasis on speed no use t…	564-561	B S Hughes A M Thomson	9	69.9kg	23 22/1
7th	3	—	Bodhisattva (G) P On a losing run but posted a good second in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh (31.4f, good to soft) in February. Best effort since when sixth of 15 in the Ulster National at Downpatrick in March …	3P5049/	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	8	68.9kg	41 40/1
—	4	—	Fairlawn Flyer (G) Pulled Up P Won 5 in a row between March and June before good second at Cartmel in July but handicapper seems to have caught up with him now.	23P-434	Shane Fenelon M Bowen	9	68.5kg	17 16/1

3rd	6	—	De Legislator (G) FAV P Point winner who enhanced his excellent strike rate under Rules when making a winning return at Ayr last month. Open to further improvement with step up in trip likely to suit.	51-130P	D R Fox L Russell & M Scudamore	8	67.6kg	4.33 10/3
—	7	—	Diamond Dealer (G) Pulled Up T Winner over 2½m over hurdles for B. F. Brookhouse and made it 2 from 2 over fences for new yard when easily making all at Chepstow 16 days ago. More to come and big shout if seeing out this much long…	6-11P21	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	6	67.1kg	4.50 7/2
4th	8	—	Gold Clermont (M) P More miss than hit last season but more encouraging signs with cheekpieces added on last 2 starts and shaped encouragingly when second of 4 at Uttoxeter on return/yard debut 3 weeks ago. Claims if bu…	249P31-	S Bowen O Murphy	9	64.4kg	7 6/1
6th	9	—	Neo King (G) Multiple point winner. Still a maiden under Rules but was a good second at Exeter in February and better for return when close second at Fontwell. Out-and-out stayer who should be thereabouts.	2-22613	Ellis Collier Evan Williams	7	64.4kg	8 7/1
5th	10	—	Catch Catchfire (G) P Bagged staying handicap chases in the mud at Leicester and Sedgefield last winter and would have made a winning return had his bid for glory been delayed a little longer back over hurdles at Warwick …	F-35U2P	Charlie Maggs Ian Williams	6	64.4kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	11	—	Breeze Of Wind (G) T Landed a fifth chase win when narrow winner at Ayr (heavy) in February. Looked rusty on return but up against from 6 lb out of the handicap here.	14-52P3	Sean Quinlan W Coltherd	8	64.4kg	26 25/1
