3rd	1	—	Chestnut Pete (G) T Opened his account at Hereford in March. Slowly coming to hand this season, third at Hereford 16 days ago. Not taken lightly.	244333	Shane Quinlan Katy Price	10	76.2kg	17 16/1
6th	2	—	Glajou (G) BT Unreliable sort who has been out of sorts in recent months. Others are more persuasive.	4P595P	R P McLernon N P Mulholland	9	75.7kg	51 50/1
4th	3	—	Merry Monty (G) Improved for the switch to fences when runner-up on debut at Exeter prior to going one better over C&D. Shaped best for a long way on return from a significant absence when third at Uttoxeter and mig…	5221/36	Bryan Carver C J Down	8	73.9kg	7.50 13/2
—	4	—	Grain Trade (G) T Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was much improved from his chase debut when winning at Market Rasen (19.1f) in October. Would have followed up but for some indifferent jumping at Fontwell (17.7f) ne…	FP244F-	Tom Cannon Billy Aprahamian	6	73.5kg	9 8/1
7th	5	—	Owl Of Athens (G) Improved to land a gamble in Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in January. Backed that up when third at Southwell (20.5f). Shaped as if better for the run on chase bow/return.	13-5781	James Bowen Evan Williams	6	70.8kg	5.50 9/2
1st	6	—	Chief O'Hara (G) FAV Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who's getting the hang of things over fences now, off the mark in good style over C&D 2 weeks ago. Sure to go well again.	P-1P761	R T Dunne M Sheppard	5	70.8kg	2.38 11/8
2nd	7	—	Inchagoill Lady (M) PT Off the mark in 3m handicap hurdle here in April and back to that level when second at Hereford last month. Back over fences now but record in this sphere is unconvincing,	562255	Lewis Saunders K Pickard	9	70.3kg	12 11/1
—	8	—	Fox Wallace (M) Pulled Up T Scored at Stratford in May but more miss than hit since, running poorly last 2 starts.	6PP-P57	Miss Megan Bevan Ella Pickard	7	68kg	41 40/1
—	9	—	McGrath From Clune (G) Unseated Rider PT Returned to form from out of the blue when easily winning at Hereford last month. Backed that up when second at Newcastle next time so respected.	12U2P-0	C O'Farrell T R Gretton	9	68kg	23 22/1
5th	10	—	Palawan Du Mazet (G) B Found some improvement switched to fences when off the mark over C&D when last seen in February. Open to improvement in this sphere and big shout if ready.	55D-511	Shane Fenelon A E Jones	6	67.6kg	4.50 7/2
