9th	1	—	George Henry (G) T Fair maiden hurdler who signed off last term with a very good third of 4 in handicap at Wincanton (21.4f, good) in March. Since had a wind op so he must enter calculations on his seasonal return.	3/6573-9	Miss Olive Nicholls P F Nicholls	6	75.3kg	12 11/1
1st	2	—	Block Rockin Beats (G) Useful in bumpers. Hasn't bettered fair form over hurdles but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 41 days ago. One to consid…	5-04198	G Sheehan O Signy	6	74.4kg	4.50 7/2
4th	3	—	Diamond Geezer (G) FAV P Deservedly got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f) in October and backed it up with a solid third of 6 in 19f Warwick handicap following month. A likely player stepping up in trip …	213417	S Bowen O Murphy	6	73.5kg	3.25 9/4
—	4	—	Rock On Cassie (M) A fairly useful 2m4f winning hurdler in 2022 but she's been off for over 2 years since tailed off in a novice chase at Clonmel on her final run for Gordon Elliott. Has her fitness to prove for a new …	47/P5PP	Philip Armson R J Armson	9	72.6kg	34 33/1
8th	5	—	Fontana Ellissi (G) T It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in last of 3 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) in March. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return.	75/8S3-8	Mr S Burton S Drinkwater	9	72.6kg	34 33/1
2nd	6	—	Harmony Heights (M) Lightly-raced maiden who posted a good third of 7 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy) 36 days ago. Goes into handicaps now but others look better treated at these weights.	54-3325	J J Burke F O'Brien	6	72.1kg	21 20/1
7th	7	—	Night Stalker (G) Remains winless but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (24.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Merits consideration once more from a slipping mark.	2/26357	M Goldstein Miss S West	5	71.2kg	6 5/1
5th	8	—	Icaque de L'Isle (G) C&D winner who wasn't discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, soft) 29 days ago. Can give another good account off an unchanged mark.	1-3551P	J M Quinlan R Bandey	7	71.2kg	8.50 15/2
3rd	9	—	Has Troke (G) Unreliable type but he was on his A-game back hurdling when landing handicap over C&D in February. Off since but can't be dismissed if ready to roll.	PP1-357	Kielan Woods A M Hales	8	71.2kg	15 14/1
6th	10	—	My Cullen (G) In good form without winning until only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. The sort to bounce back.	0-F9052	Brendan Powell Miss H C Knight	5	70.8kg	7.50 13/2
