—	1	—	Parikarma (M) P Off 12 months since a below-form fourth in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) on his final run for John & Rhys Flint. Weighted to go well though if ready to roll for his new stable.	385-327	Miss Imogen Mathias S Drinkwater	8	76.2kg	13 12/1
3rd	2	—	Vanilla Dancer (M) It's now 16 runs since her last win in 2023 and she came in a below-par sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement…	32142-4	Danny McMenamin C Grant	6	72.6kg	6 5/1
7th	3	—	Caman Rocco (F) Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who took a step forward on her handicap bow when fifth of 16 at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Should improve further so this Irish challenger is not taken lightly.	9005	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	4	71.7kg	12 11/1
9th	4	—	Suitably Surprised (M) A dual 2m scorer last November and she got back on track when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) in June. Not ruled out after a break.	129/529-	Charlie Maggs S England	6	70.3kg	7 6/1
2nd	5	—	Holly Bird (M) P Still a maiden but she posted a creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ayre (19.5f) 15 days ago. Can't be discounted with cheekpieces added.	5-53271	P W Wadge A M Thomson	6	70.3kg	12 11/1
1st	6	—	Somebodycomegether (M) TP Flat maiden but she is going the right way in this sphere, tongue tied when a very good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (21.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Must enter calculations nudged…	435214	Aaron Anderson J Bedi	5	67.6kg	6.50 11/2
4th	7	—	Dance In The Park (M) B A fair maiden hurdler but she ended her time with Karen Jewell out of sorts and was pulled up on stable debut at Ffos Las 27 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now.	3/6PP-P4	James Bowen M Bowen	7	67.6kg	8.50 15/2
6th	8	—	Chosen Bae (M) T Scored on her handicap bow at Bangor (19.6f) in February but well below that level in a trio of starts this term. Needs to take a big step forward.	868346	Freddie Mitchell R Potter	6	64.4kg	13 12/1
5th	9	—	Stellarmasterpiece (M) FAV P A fair 1m4f Flat winner who posted her best effort in this sphere when third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, faring best of those held up. Merits serious considerati…	6/355-11	B S Hughes Micky Hammond	5	64.4kg	3.25 9/4
10th	10	—	Cross Of Redmoor (M) TP Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in only sixth of 9 in handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now with lots more required.	69460-5	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	5	64.4kg	41 40/1
8th	11	—	Secret Pass (M) Yet to show any form of note, last of 8 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement.	7-5P08	R T Dunne T Ellis	5	64.4kg	34 33/1
