—	1	—	Siog Geal (M) Ended 2024/25 with EBF Mares' Final success at Newbury and running consistently well this season, forced to switch late when second of 9 in 19f handicap hurdle at Chepstow last month. Another bold sh…	21-3252	Fern O'Brien F O'Brien	7	76.2kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	2	—	Rockola Vogue (M) P Started the season with handicap wins at Bangor and Ascot but fitted with cheekpieces when below par in Yorkshire Rose Mares Hurdle at Doncaster and listed event at Kelso last 2 runs.	4-11365	David Bass D Killahena & G McPherson	7	75.7kg	17 16/1
5th	3	—	Rula Bula (M) Returned with success in 17f Carlisle handicap in November but only twice raced since and below par, beating just two in 19f Chepstow handicap last month.	P25-157	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	7	73.5kg	13 12/1
6th	4	—	Greyval (M) P Winless this season under both codes and she's been off since a below-form fifth of 10 in 21f handicap hurdle at Ludlow in February. Cheekpieces go on now.	1-52065	J J Burke F O'Brien	7	72.1kg	9.50 17/2
—	5	—	Pretending (M) Pulled Up P Capitalised on a reduced mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) in February. Had the run of the race there so more is required from a 4 lb higher mark.	3-57P41	Tom Cannon L Wadham	7	71.7kg	15 14/1
1st	6	—	Service Minimum (M) FAV Confirmed earlier promise when easily landing a gamble in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Bangor (2½m) 23 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but she merits serious consideration.	074711-	Harry Skelton D Skelton	6	71.2kg	2.63 13/8
—	7	—	Crazierthandaisy (M) Pulled Up Dual C&D winner who got right back on track when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 26 days ago. A likely player nudged up 1 lb.	0-1P402	N de Boinville N J Henderson	7	70.8kg	5.50 9/2
4th	8	—	Hard Dealt (M) Point/hurdles winner who is knocking on the door again, runner-up for the fourth time this season in 3m Ascot handicap 25 days ago. Can go well once more.	227224	Sam Twiston-Davies H D Daly	6	70.3kg	9.50 17/2
—	9	—	Pismo Beach (M) T Scored at Hexham in October and largely in good form subsequently, second of 15 in 21f handicap at Newbury last month. Up 4 lb here though.	1543P2	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	6	70.3kg	5 4/1
7th	10	—	Audacious Annie (M) P Course winner but yet to score this season and she didn't find as much as expected when fourth of 7 in handicap at Fakenham (2½m) in January. Back from a break here.	1-66254	G Sheehan Jamie Snowden	7	68.9kg	9 8/1
2nd	11	—	Keep On Cobbling (M) Low-mileage 6-y-o made a winning return at Sedgefield in November. Failed to see her race out after 3 months off when third of 4 in 21f handicap at Ayr last month but should strip sharper here.	21/1632-	Harry Bannister H D Daly	6	64.4kg	12 11/1
—	12	—	Country Mouse (M) Pulled Up P Points winner but she proved a disappointment on her handicap debut when sixth of 9 at Chepstow (19f) last month. Not the easiest of rides and cheekpieces go on now.	0/0346P-	Liam Harrison A Ralph	6	64.4kg	41 40/1
