1st	1	—	Fostered Phil (G) T Veteran who scored at Perth (2m4f) in September and has continued in good nick, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly off a 2 lb lower mark.	337415	Danny McMenamin W Young Jnr	11	76.2kg	4.50 7/2
5th	2	—	Platin Moon (G) FAV H Placed on sole Flat start in France and has shown promise in this sphere, going too keenly when sixth in 19.5f handicap at Ayr 32 days ago. This drop in trip should suit and he's a likely player off …	465131	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	4	75.7kg	3.50 5/2
9th	3	—	Chosen Hero (M) P Chepstow 2m novice hurdle winner in January 2024 but largely below form last term for Archie Watson. Starts out for a new yard here after 8 months off with lots more required.	768-9PP	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	7	75.3kg	19 18/1
7th	4	—	Gandhi Maker (G) T Out of sorts in the spring for Rebecca Menzies and he was pulled up on his sole run for David Thompson in C&D handicap in April. Has lots to prove starting out for another new stable here.	PUU0P-7	Peter Kavanagh N Wilson	9	74.8kg	81 80/1
2nd	5	—	Voodoo Angel (M) P Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, soft) 27 days ago. Needs to back it up with headgear again sported.	342233	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	6	73.9kg	21 20/1
—	6	—	Gone With The Tide (G) Pulled Up H Irish point winner but only modest form at best over hurdles and pulled up in 2m4f Ayr handicap on his return last month. Hood goes back on with lots more required.	94/PPP9-	Jamie Hamilton Mrs A C Hamilton	6	71.7kg	29 28/1
8th	7	—	Kellie's Dream (M) A dual hurdles winner for Andrew Slattery in Ireland and has made the frame on a couple of occasions for present connections. Looked in need of the run when a fading ninth at Ayr (19.5f, soft) on ret…	73/985-6	Callum Bewley D Bourke	8	68.5kg	7.50 13/2
3rd	8	—	Wor Lad (G) Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't disgraced in first-time blinkers when fifth of 6 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Musselburgh (17.4f, good) 8 months ago. No forlorn hope now going into handicaps.	87/9P5-3	Craig Nichol D W Whillans	5	67.1kg	13 12/1
4th	9	—	Rock N Roll Champ (G) P Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and possibilities.	854345	Edward Austin Miss S E Forster	7	65.8kg	7.50 13/2
6th	10	—	Boyneside (G) Placed on a couple of occasions during 2023/24 campaign, but he was well held back from a 17-month absence (also first run following a wind op) at Kelso 26 days ago. Has lots to prove.	52/75F-5	Charlie Maggs F P Murtagh	6	64.4kg	4.50 7/2
