4th	1	—	Homme D'Un Soir (G) TV Won 3 times last season, including at Ludlow in March. Excellent second at Huntingdon on return, coming clear with a progressive sort. Big shout with a repeat.	3-24341	James Bowen Billy Aprahamian	9	77.1kg	5 4/1
—	2	—	Stormin Crossgales (G) Unseated Rider Three-time chase winner for the Pogsons last season but made a very low-key start for this yard when last seen in early summer. It's likely best to look elsewhere.	1/PPUPP-	Benjamin Poste M Young	8	75.7kg	201 200/1
1st	3	—	Milan Tino (G) Fairly useful ex-French hurdler and there were plenty of positives to glean from his stable debut fourth in a 15-runner Worcester novice hurdle. Looked an interesting chasing debutant but proved a le…	3-44142	J J Burke T R George	5	74.8kg	13 12/1
2nd	4	—	Lime Drop (M) Three-time winner in small field chases last season and in process of running well after 6 months off prior to falling 2 out at Uttoxeter. Just respectable fourth of 5 back there since, finding littl…	516-F42	Stan Sheppard H D Daly	9	74.8kg	13 12/1
7th	5	—	Hypotenus (G) Yet to score over fences but he proved largely consistent upon joining present stable earlier this year, decent second at Ludlow on return. Respected.	3633-34	Rian Corcoran J Tickle	6	73.5kg	6.50 11/2
5th	6	—	Authoceltic (G) FAV Positive start to his chase career in recent months, building on Newton Abbot second when going one place better at Wincanton. Can likely progress again so considered.	24-5215	James Best Mrs J Williams	5	73.5kg	2.88 15/8
6th	7	—	Lightning Flash (G) Improved performer switched to fences this season, winning on debut in this sphere at Chepstow (2m) in October. Disappointed at Wetherby but probably would have bounced back with a win but for fallin…	14F63-3	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	5	72.6kg	4.50 7/2
3rd	8	—	Park Annonciade (G) T Hasn't won since 2023 but went close on final start for Stuart Crawford (sold for £36,000) at Perth in May. However, well held both starts for this yard so plenty to prove back over fences.	4P3212-	R P McLernon Mrs S J Humphrey	7	71.7kg	41 40/1
—	9	—	Paddy In The Caddy (G) Pulled Up B Took well to fences last winter, making all over 2m at Warwick and Hereford. Added to that with another all-the-way success back from a break at Wincanton in March but well held since, including both…	35-90PP	Sean Houlihan P Hobbs & J White	6	69.9kg	15 14/1
