4th	1	—	Gentleman Bill (G) B Bumper/dual 2m hurdles winner who made a good start over fences at Aintree in October before losing his way over the larger obstacles. Fared no better back hurdling latest and his hopes are pinned on…	353F85	Toby McCain-Mitchell O Greenall & J Guerriero	8	77.1kg	11 10/1
6th	2	—	Stoner's Choice (G) PT Very useful in his prime but at the veteran stage now and recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, despite attracting market support last time. Refitted cheekpieces rejoin his regular tongu…	560576	Fern O'Brien F O'Brien	11	76.7kg	6.50 11/2
5th	3	—	Timefortom (G) Irish point winner last spring. Fair form when second in maiden/novice hurdles over 2½m towards the end of 2025. Found have to bled when pulled up at Newcastle in January. Off for 98 days ahead of ha…	451-22P	Alan Doyle L Russell & M Scudamore	6	74.8kg	11 10/1
1st	4	—	Letterston Lily (M) FAV Bumper/dual hurdle winner but absent since finishing well held in a 2m Cheltenham handicap in November 2024. Betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence.	13U40/1-	James Bowen M Bowen	6	74.8kg	4.50 7/2
—	5	—	Lets Mingle (M) Unseated Rider Opened her account in C&D maiden last May. Lightly raced since and not disgraced when third of 5 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) in January. Likely to be competitive back in a handicap.	243U-35	Jack Power L Russell & M Scudamore	6	73.5kg	11 10/1
3rd	6	—	Buy Some Time (G) HT Below par since winning a valuable contest at the Punchestown Festival last April, although he might have needed a recent outing at Kelso after 8 months off.	7563-21	Ryan Mania R M Smith	8	73kg	12 11/1
7th	7	—	Heard That (G) Successful 3 times over fences at up to 3m last term, including here. Failed to fire on first 4 outings this season but step back in right direction when second of 10 in 2½m Southwell handicap last m…	PP3627-	Aidan Weaver O Murphy	7	73kg	8 7/1
2nd	8	—	Soldier's Leap (G) T Retuned to win handicaps at Stratford (19f. good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in the autumn. Last month's second back at Stratford shows he's still very much at the top of his game. Should go we…	3-11552	Miss Gina Andrews T Ellis	6	72.1kg	5 4/1
8th	9	—	Karton Plein (G) Creditable third at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) in January but has pulled up on both starts either side. Hard to be confident about but leading stable has won this race twice in recent years.	1-62P3P	S Bowen O Murphy	6	70.8kg	8 7/1
—	10	—	So Many Roads (G) T Ended a 3-year losing run in handicap at Ayr (20.5f, soft) in January. Better effort since when creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Hexham (2½m, heavy) 29 days ago. Can make presence felt again.	U-73154	Theo Gillard D W Whillans	9	67.1kg	13 12/1
