Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
6th	1	—	Crystal Spring (M) FAV Confirmed previous promise to win a 19.5f Huntingdon maiden hurdle on return. Progressed once more sent handicapping when second at Exeter but more needed again on these terms.	35-2312	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	4	73kg	1.83 5/6
—	2	—	Pottersville (M) Made a winning start in the manner of an above-average sort in 15-runner bumper at Clonmel in April. Low-key stable/hurdle debut at Newbury on return but left that well behind upped markedly in trip …	1-0148	Jamie Brace Miss R Curtis	6	73kg	2.88 15/8
10th	3	—	Where's Cato (M) Much improved from hurdling bow when bagging 5-runner novice at Exeter (21.6f, good) 57 days ago. However, that was a weak race and she looks up against it under a penalty.	2-51012	Isabel Williams Evan Williams	6	73kg	41 40/1
1st	4	—	Betty's Daisy (M) T Looked a useful prospect when winning a Warwick bumper on debut in February. Well held in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but she proved a let-down sent hurdling at Warwick on return. Tongue strap…	10-812	Kielan Woods B Pauling	5	69.9kg	9 8/1
9th	5	—	Connies Hill (M) T Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2025) but weakened quickly in Sandown bumper on Rules debut last month. Tongue strap on.	199606	Harry Reed Nick Scholfield	5	69.9kg	126 125/1
3rd	6	—	Country Mouse (M) Point winner who was too free when finishing down the field in an 18-runner bumper at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) on Rules debut in April. Offered little on hurdles debut at Newbury on return last month…	0/0346P-	Sam Twiston-Davies A Ralph	5	69.9kg	34 33/1
2nd	7	—	Diamonds Galore (M) Took a step forward on the back of a wind op when second of 8 in novice hurdle at Worcester on return 8 weeks ago, though very much had the run of the race. Needs to improve again.	222P1-6	James Bowen N J Henderson	5	69.9kg	5 4/1
4th	8	—	Gaelic Saint (M) H Placed twice from 3 starts in bumpers and shaped encouragingly when second in mares' novice at Warwick on hurdling debut/return. Player with improvement likely over this longer trip.	20-2467	Benjamin Poste T Symonds	4	69.9kg	7.50 13/2
7th	9	—	Kilworth (M) Winning pointer who showed a bit more on second start for this yard at Exeter but looks one for handicaps later on.	F371P1	Jack Hogan Miss E C Lavelle	5	69.9kg	23 22/1
—	10	—	No Flies On Her (M) Fell Made a successful start in a maiden point last spring and showed ability in a couple of bumpers. Makes hurdles debut.	1-63F	J J Burke F O'Brien	5	69.9kg	13 12/1
8th	11	—	Rene's Walk (M) H Has ability but looks one for handicaps later on.	44-68F	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	5	69.9kg	29 28/1
5th	12	—	Rosa Diaz (M) HT €12,000 3-y-o, £32,000 4-y-o, Pillar Coral mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Hidden Heroics. Irish point winner (Nov 2024). Wears tongue strap.	1/54574-	Craig Nichol O Greenall & J Guerriero	5	69.9kg	67 66/1
—	13	—	Wishful Wings (M) Pulled Up €6,500 3-y-o, £10,000 4-y-o, Wings of Eagles filly. Dam unraced half-sister to quirky but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Fairytale Theatre. Run…	2P084U	Sean Houlihan Sheila Lewis	4	69.9kg	151 150/1
