3rd	1	—	Livano Bello (G) FAV T Still a maiden but he is knocking on the door, travelling fluently long way when second of 6 in handicap hurdle here (21.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Up 2 lb but he can go very well dropped back in trip.	23532-P	Joshua Thompson Micky Hammond	4	76.2kg	2.88 15/8
8th	2	—	Heritier (G) PT On a losing run but he was badly hampered early when only fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) 26 days ago. Not discounted off a slipping mark.	7-F5847	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	8	74.8kg	15 14/1
5th	3	—	Miss Friday Lions (M) H Modest form shown in bumpers but she took a step forward in this sphere when third of 6 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 15 days ago. May do better still now going handicapping but others …	0350P-3	Ross Chapman R Menzies	4	73kg	17 16/1
1st	4	—	Top Flight Century (G) P Opened his account at Perth (2m4f) in July and has continued in good form, not quite lasting home when fifth of 10 in 2m5f Wetherby handicap in October on his final run for Adam Nicol. Goes back in t…	1P6-453	Jack Power D Thompson	4	71.7kg	10 9/1
2nd	5	—	Kaviar Wood (G) Maiden pointer who has offered little in four runs in this sphere, cheekpieces tried when a well-held fourth on his handicap debut over 2m here last month. Headgear dispensed with now but needs this …	74424F-	Conor Ring Evan Williams	5	68.5kg	3.50 5/2
4th	6	—	Fairly Fulling (G) PT Maiden hurdler who was tried in cheekpieces for the first time when a well-held fourth of 6 in handicap here (21.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.	2441-P4	Nathan Moscrop S Corbett	7	67.1kg	5 4/1
—	7	—	Mr Rumbalicious (G) P Winless since 2023 and he was tried in cheekpieces when only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 57 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.	5F80P7-	Non Runner James Moffatt	6	65.3kg	26 25/1
7th	8	—	Balranald (G) P Course winner but he arrives well below par, just fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle here (16.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Others are more persuasive.	4-62857	Joe Williamson Mrs A C Hamilton	9	64.9kg	34 33/1
6th	9	—	Mr Globalist (G) P Long-standing maiden but he wasn't discredited when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) in September, set a lot to do. Weighted to go well after a break.	5-34463	Harry Atkins Lizzie Quinlan	6	64.9kg	15 14/1
