—	1	—	Lady Pretender (M) Returned from a third breathing operation to finally get off the mark in handicap chase at Plumpton last month. That was a weak 3-runner affair but this might not be a great deal stronger.	2436-P1	Charlie Deutsch Miss V Williams	7	76.2kg	2.10 11/10
—	2	—	Wings On Wheels (G) T Has hinted at ability in novice hurdles in recent months and this former point runner-up could prove a different proposition now switching to fences for his handicap debut.	590P2-3	R T Dunne Ian Williams	7	75.7kg	8 7/1
—	3	—	Kingoftheswingerz (G) PT Hurdle winner who made a successful debut over fences at Worcester in September but went backwards from that when remote sixth at Uttoxeter 5 weeks later. Given a bit of time since and seems to go we…	815-P16	James Bowen H Dickin	7	75.7kg	6 5/1
—	4	—	O'Grady's Hill (M) Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper/maiden hurdle for Harry Derham in summer 2024 but finished well held in a course handicap hurdle last month on her return from an absence for a new yard. Mi…	45535-5	James Best S-J Davies	7	73kg	17 16/1
—	5	—	Black Occ (G) P Modest maiden hurdler in 2023/24. Pulled up on return from long absence in October and can only be watched now chasing 12 weeks on. Wears first-time cheekpieces.	PP32P-3	Tom Broughton Sheila Lewis	7	73kg	21 20/1
—	6	—	Yorgunnabeplucky (G) P Much improved when off the mark on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m) in June. Similar form in defeat since but he has been a bit laboured, including in cheekpieces (retained) last time.	0-12434	Conor Ring Evan Williams	6	69.9kg	5 4/1
—	7	—	Emberscombe (M) Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who is opposable again.	P1-3146	Taylor Fisher J Tickle	9	64.4kg	34 33/1
—	8	—	Outback Frontiers (G) P Fair winning hurdler. Runner-up finish over C&D in November is the closest he's gone over fences. Behind when pulled up after rider lost irons at Windsor latest.	05042P	R Patrick J G M O'Shea	10	64.4kg	15 14/1
