Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Blue Universe (G) Fell Still a maiden over hurdles but only gave best to a better-treated rival at Huntingdon in early-February and should be in the mix again.	32352F-	Paddy Hanlon M J Attwater	6	76.2kg	7 6/1
3rd	2	—	Calshot Spit (G) Helped by a wayward runner-up when making a winning reappearance over 2¼m here (soft) in December and has had plausible excuses for both subsequent defeats over C&D.	222118/	M Goldstein Miss S West	6	76.2kg	9 8/1
—	3	—	Spanish Dancer (G) Shaped with some promise on hurdling debut and following a forgivable effort on his qualifying run at Lingfield in early February, he could be worth another chance now handicapping over a longer trip…	47-555	James Davies R Bandey	7	75.3kg	13 12/1
7th	4	—	Jefe Triunfo (G) Bumper/maiden hurdle winner has gone backwards since finishing third in a valuable novice handicap at Worcester, faring no better on reappearance at Plumpton last time. Yard also saddles Superstylin.	4U807-5	Dylan Johnston C Gordon	7	75.3kg	10 9/1
2nd	5	—	Superstylin (G) FAV T Notched third win of the season in a handicap chase here last month, and while not at his best in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) when distant second of 4 at Plumpton on latest start, he's fanci…	321212	Tom Cannon C Gordon	9	74.4kg	3.25 9/4
—	6	—	Easter Icon (G) Brought Down Suited by the step back up in trip when fourth of 9 at Stratford last time. That was his best effort this season, and though back down in distance here, he's 1-1 at Fontwell.	157/11-7	Isabelle Ryder G Brown	7	73.9kg	5.50 9/2
10th	7	—	Bushstreet Bowman (G) Down the field both starts in handicaps, though he shaped as if better for the run at Chepstow last time, and quickly finds himself on a more realistic mark.	8F07P0	Ben Jones B Pauling	6	72.1kg	26 25/1
5th	8	—	Bread And Butter (G) T Veteran failed to build on a more promising effort when well beaten at Wincanton last time and his mark continues to slide.	8P485-6	Freddie Mitchell Cynthia Woods	11	71.2kg	21 20/1
4th	9	—	Nelson Gate (G) P Fair Flat maiden (stays 1½m) hasn't kicked on since finishing runner-up here on hurdling bow (well held at Sandown in January), though he receives a handy 4-y-o allowance on handicap debut and could …	2934-3	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	4	69.9kg	9.50 17/2
9th	10	—	Dontaskchris (G) H Well held both completed starts over hurdles in 2024 (also refused to race) and it's hard to be confident now sent handicapping in first-time hood on the back of a 23-month absence.	P7R5/9-	Harry Kimber Mrs D Grissell	8	68.5kg	19 18/1
8th	11	—	My Lovely Horse (M) P Looked one with problems when pulled up at Plumpton last time.	6P3P8-6	James Turner D G Bridgwater	6	68.5kg	51 50/1
1st	12	—	Hiero Sport (G) HT Hasn't stood much racing for his age but ran creditably on return from a further 3 months off when third of 7 in a first-time tongue strap at Huntingdon. Worth noting in the betting (well backed for …	85/831-3	Bryan Carver A M Hales	9	68kg	9 8/1
6th	13	—	Chosen Bae (M) Struggling for form this season, faring no better back over hurdles at Hereford last time.	868346	Benjamin Poste R Potter	7	64.4kg	51 50/1
