Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
8th	1	—	Fullythermal (G) Didn't offer much in a pair of bumpers 10 weeks apart, tailed off at Haydock on latest outing in March. Looks one for the longer term as he starts off over hurdles.	08	J J Burke D McCain Jnr	5	72.6kg	201 200/1
7th	2	—	Hay Max (G) Couldn't justify favouritism but shaped encouragingly on debut when runner-up in a bumper at Bangor last spring. Well held both subsequent outings in that sphere, before failing to get home over 2½m …	2-353	David Bass C E Longsdon	5	72.6kg	51 50/1
—	3	—	Jorah D'alma (G) Fell T Irish point winner who came from off the pace to win a Ludlow bumper a year ago. Little promise on first 2 starts in maiden hurdles, but in first-time tongue strap upped in trip he fared better when …	1/0P3F-3	Ben Sutton F O'Brien	7	72.6kg	8 7/1
3rd	4	—	Lightfingered Jack (G) From a very good jumping family and shaped promisingly on his belated debut when runner-up in 6-runner novice at Aintree in November. Below that level in 2 maidens since, but it still remains early d…	2053-P	Thomas Bellamy A King	7	72.6kg	6 5/1
1st	5	—	Mr Finch (G) FAV Runner-up in an Irish point and, having been well backed, offered encouragement when fourth of 12 in a Fontwell novice on hurdles bow. Pulled up over this C&D next time, but got back on track when fi…	24P5	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	72.6kg	2.38 11/8
5th	6	—	Scottish Anthem (G) Useful at best on the Flat, though not straightforward. Much improved from hurdling debut when runner-up in 2m novice at Uttoxeter last summer, but ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts on the l…	53497-V	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	7	72.6kg	7.50 13/2
6th	7	—	Style De Folie (G) PT Made appeal on paper, but in a tongue strap (having already undergone a breathing operation) he finished down the field in a Fontwell bumper on Boxing Day. Fared no better sent hurdling when tailed o…	506-	G Sheehan Jamie Snowden	5	72.6kg	126 125/1
2nd	8	—	Testing Patience (G) Not much promise in 2 bumpers under Rules but stepped forward from his hurdling debut effort when second in 12-runner maiden at Fontwell 15 days ago, beaten only by the odds on favourite. Enters calc…	38342	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	6	72.6kg	4.50 7/2
4th	9	—	Vanderflier (G) P £155,000 Irish point recruit who has shaped better than the result both starts in maiden hurdles, trying to match strides with the winner up in trip when fifth of 7 at Chepstow (3m) last month. Has h…	31-554	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	6	72.6kg	12 11/1
9th	10	—	Virtuose D'ainay (G) Favourite when third in an Irish point, but sent off at big odds in a novice/maiden hurdle and pulled up on both occasions. Has plenty to prove up in distance after 5 months off.	3/PP9-	J M Quinlan T Gallagher	7	72.6kg	251 250/1
