6th	1	—	Cooleenymore (M) P Fair hurdler/chaser got back on track after a break when third over hurdles at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) in February. However, she wasn't in the same form back there on final run of last season and her f…	33-5612	Harry Kimber R Walford	9	76.2kg	26 25/1
13th	2	—	Iamcelestialgift (G) T Well backed when making a winning debut in an ordinary Carlisle maiden hurdle (19.3f) in the spring but didn't progress when well held on return at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in October. Still early days but …	1/40P-69	Nick Slatter D Killahena & G McPherson	7	76.2kg	41 40/1
2nd	3	—	Colonial Empire (G) V Multiple winner during 2022/23 campaign (including at this track) but seemingly hasn't been the easiest to keep sound (no show previous two starts). Mark is falling but only considered if market expe…	67-5P22	Mr Edward Vaughan Tim Vaughan	8	76.2kg	23 22/1
14th	4	—	Summerleaze (M) Notched a hurdle hat-trick for Olly Murphy in the spring. Not in same form over fences but got back on track on second start for new yard when runner-up (33/1) over C&D last month. This is more compe…	3846P2	Joshua Bryan Nick Scholfield	8	75.3kg	29 28/1
1st	5	—	Alright Dai (G) P Won a pair of handicaps over 20.5f at the turn of the year. Hit and miss since, off the bridle a long way out but every chance when (shaped to run out) unseating rider 2 flights from home at Wincanto…	7-9U113	C O'Farrell N P Mulholland	7	73.5kg	5.50 9/2
5th	6	—	Only Gossip (M) Winning pointer. Lightly raced under Rules but showed some promise in novice/handicaps, including when well held fourth over C&D on handicap bow. Likely needed the run at Exeter on reappearance and l…	4-55623	Rex Dingle P Gundry	8	71.7kg	41 40/1
8th	7	—	Knightsbridge (G) PT Shaped much better than previously on handicap debut when third at Hereford (25.5f). Somewhat flattered by latest third at same track (19.7f) but will be better suited by the step back up in distance…	3895-11	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	5	71.2kg	15 14/1
3rd	8	—	Brave Move (G) Ran his best race over hurdles when fourth of 12 on 19.5f Huntingdon handicap debut/reappearance but couldn't back that up at Doncaster over a similar trip last time, when not fully settling. Will ne…	8/4735-8	J J Burke F O'Brien	6	70.8kg	26 25/1
12th	9	—	Elusive Knight (G) Won his sole start in Points and shaped encouragingly on yard/hurdling debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) in October. Beaten at long odds in maidens over inadequate trips subsequently but better expected uppe…	580405	James Bowen Evan Williams	5	69.9kg	34 33/1
4th	10	—	Square Du Roule (G) FAV Improved to get off the mark in a 12-runner handicap at Exeter (21.6f, soft) last time (Ask Her Out 1¼ lengths third). Up 6 lb but won with a bit in hand that day and should go well again if seeing o…	142481	H Cobden N J Hawke	5	69.9kg	3.50 5/2
15th	11	—	The Longest Day (G) TP Lightly raced since scoring twice at Perth in 2023 and went backwards from reappearance when fourth at Ffos Las in October. Unseated softly at Newcastle last time and still has a bit to find on bare …	6/34U04-	Roisin Leech Mrs S Leech	9	67.6kg	67 66/1
9th	12	—	I Love You Sivola (G) VT 25 runs since his last win in 2022 but showed minor promise when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) in June. Well below form from out of the handicap on comeback at Exeter. …	558969	Brendan Powell Mrs H R J Nelmes	7	66.2kg	67 66/1
11th	13	—	Ask Her Out (M) Built on previous promise in handicap hurdles last season when winning at Plumpton in December. Had excuses next 2 starts and has returned in fine heart this season, finishing 1¼ lengths behind Squar…	21P9-33	Jack Tudor Mrs R Ford	7	65.8kg	8 7/1
10th	14	—	Matchadam (G) T Won sole start in points. Maiden under Rules (bumper placed) but has been well backed on both starts this year, latest following wind surgery/5 months off when fourth at Ludlow (21.3f). That looks so…	6873-44	Cameron Iles T Lacey	7	64.9kg	8 7/1
7th	15	—	Hardy Buck (G) P Had fallen a long way in the weights (still 2 lb out of the handicap) when recording a first career success on stable debut in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Exeter (23.1f, soft) last month. Meri…	P172P-6	Luke Scott M Comley	7	64.4kg	4 3/1
16th	16	—	Joker Jack (G) T Poor maiden hurdler who was tongue tied (retained) when pulled up in handicap at Taunton (19f) 9 months ago. Upped in trip but not easy to make a case for from 3 lb out the handicap.	0P/0PP9-	Mr Jack Stenhouse Claire Hitch	6	64.4kg	101 100/1
