1st	1	—	Count Of Vendome (G) FAV Dual bumper winner from 3 starts who should have made a successful hurdling debut/return at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 3 months ago, 3 lengths ahead and in control when losing all momentum last (traded 1.…	1/21211-	B S Hughes D McCain Jnr	6	71.7kg	1.73 8/11
5th	2	—	Different Drum (G) Modest performer on Flat who offered only very limited encouragement tried hurdling at Huntingdon a fortnight ago. Can only be watched.	208-038	Jamie Hamilton L Allan	5	71.7kg	301 300/1
—	3	—	Luckie Devil (G) Pulled Up H Runner-up in Newcastle bumper last March (travelled well but no match for now useful winner) and possible excuses for weak finish at Kelso next time (got loose beforehand). However, he showed nothing…	4PPP-97	Callum Bewley N G Richards	6	71.7kg	81 80/1
—	4	—	Made All (G) Pulled Up T Fair three-time winner on the Flat last year who is seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind in this sphere.	053365	Jonathan England S England	5	71.7kg	81 80/1
3rd	5	—	Not At That Price (G) Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers last spring and, following 6 months off, again ran well from the front when second of 10 at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in October. Little encouragement to gl…	44/263-2	James Bowen C E Longsdon	6	71.7kg	10 9/1
—	6	—	Prince Of Clova (G) Pulled Up Hung left and carried his tail awkwardly when fifth of 6 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, good) on debut in October. More needed on his hurdles debut.	5P	Peter Kavanagh P D Niven	5	71.7kg	101 100/1
—	7	—	Ribble River (G) Pulled Up Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), successful penultimate start and again ran well when last seen in September. Makes hurdles bow for a new yard and probably one for later on.	P5-5668	Sean Quinlan Lizzie Quinlan	5	71.7kg	67 66/1
2nd	8	—	Stanners Glen (G) T Point winner who made a successful bumper debut at Tipperary for Robert Tyner last May. Popular in the market but held back by inexperience on yard/hurdling bow (sold for £78,000) on return at Taunto…	21/1321-	Bryan Carver H Fry	7	71.7kg	3 2/1

4th	11	—	Uptown Lass (M) Little promise in bumpers for Nicky Henderson but showed a bit sent hurdling after 6 months off when fourth of 6 in novice at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) in November. Needs to build on that after a brea…	836-4	Charlie Hammond N Kent	6	68.5kg	101 100/1
—	12	—	King Esoteric (G) Pulled Up Fair form when fifth in newcomers race at Saint-Cloud last spring, only outing on Flat. Interesting recruit for the powerful Dan Skelton yard (gets handy 4-y-o allowance) and market support would loo…	P	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	4	66.2kg	6.50 11/2
