Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	—	Favour And Fortune (G) Very useful handicapper ran up to his best when third in a valuable handicap at Aintree last time. He's fresher than most for this time of the year and should go well again.	6403-63	Thomas Bellamy A King	8	76.2kg	6.50 11/2
8th	2	—	Dargiannini (G) T Veteran finds himself back on the same mark as when successful on reappearance at Uttoxeter, though there's been little encouragement in either start since, pulled up in the BetMGM Cup at the Chelten…	425-1PP	Paul O'Brien Harry Derham	11	73.9kg	51 50/1
—	3	—	Aurigny Mill (G) P Matched his best form when notching a third course success at Taunton in February. Probably needs softer conditions nowadays, though, as he went with little fluency on good ground at Bangor last time…	8-4F316	Harry Kimber R Walford	9	73.5kg	26 25/1
9th	4	—	Listentoyourheart (M) Useful mare who won a valuable handicap at Windsor on New Year's Day. Showed her Ascot running hadn't done her justice when third in a mares listed race at Kelso (3m) last time, and she should give a…	0-43173	Harry Skelton D Skelton	7	69.4kg	5.50 9/2
—	5	—	Trustintimes (G) Beat a couple of subsequent winners to land a 4-timer on handicap bow at Ascot in November. The form of his Kempton second the following month worked out well, too, and he was probably beaten by the …	1-11120	Bryan Carver H Fry	5	68.9kg	13 12/1
—	6	—	Authorised Speed (G) Useful sort won twice at this course as a novice hurdler, though it remains to be seen how much of that ability remains, having been off since finishing fifth in a 6-runner beginners chase at Warwick…	8F3F45/	Freddie Mitchell G & J Moore	9	68.9kg	34 33/1
—	7	—	Last Kingdom (G) P Emerging yard has had success with recruits from the Willie Mullins stable, however, this 5-y-o hasn't made any impact in 3 starts.	48PP70-	H Cobden Faye Bramley	5	68kg	26 25/1
7th	8	—	Lucky Manifest (G) T Much-improved performer for new yard earlier in the season but his progress has seemingly levelled off, for all he'll find this a more suitable test than the Morebattle at Kelso (2m). Tongue strap go…	112830	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	6	66.7kg	9.50 17/2
3rd	9	—	Fasol (G) PT Consistent sort has placed on both previous starts here, latterly in a novice handicap at this meeting 12 months ago, and he arrives on the back of another solid effort when fourth in the Sussex Cham…	144743-	Miss O Nicholls P F Nicholls	7	65.8kg	6.50 11/2
2nd	10	—	Gnomon (G) FAV Progressive on the Flat after winning a bumper for Ralph Beckett, and he readily outpointed a subsequent winner when opening his hurdles account at Ascot last time. Still unexposed at this sort of tr…	68-2221	Tom Cannon T Lawes	5	65.8kg	4.50 7/2
1st	11	—	No Ordinary Joe (G) VT Yet to recapture the useful form he showed for Nicky Henderson, though there have been signs of encouragement since joining capable new yard, shaping as though he'll relish this step back up in trip …	—	R P McLernon Faye Bramley	10	65.8kg	15 14/1
6th	12	—	Across Earth (G) Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who notched his second handicap hurdle success at this track in December and has only enhanced his reputation in defeat, finishing a close second to an improving sort…	033194/	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	5	64.9kg	9 8/1
—	13	—	Joltin N Jiving (G) T NON RUNNER.	18/2552-	Non Runner D McCain Jnr	6	64.9kg	13 12/1
—	14	—	Surrey Lord (G) Smooth-travelling sort landed his third success of the season at Kempton on Boxing Day, and he's well worth another chance, having not looked out of place when fourth in similar company under softer …	611414	K Brogan T Lawes	7	64.4kg	7.50 13/2
4th	15	—	Royal Way (G) P Backed up the third Ludlow success of his career when runner-up at Ascot last time, though now pitched into a much stronger race, and doesn't look the yard's leading hope.	333124-	Sean Houlihan G & J Moore	6	64.4kg	10 9/1
10th	16	—	Tour Ovalie (M) Likeable 6-time winner came from further back than the 3 that beat her at Chepstow on latest start, though she's probably vulnerable back up in grade, even with Sean Bowen taking over.	713340-	S Bowen Mrs C Williams	7	64.4kg	11 10/1
