Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	3	Utmost Good Faith (G) FAV [H] Progressive gelding who has won last 2 starts, including handicap at Kempton Park (8/11) 26 days ago on debut for this yard, doing so without fuss despite taking a grip. Up 10 lb but open to improvement and looks the one to beat.	114605	Billy Loughnane	G Boughey	3	61.2 kg	2.25 5/4
2nd	2	4	Dagger Strike (G) Much improved when gelded and got off the mark in nursery at Newcastle in December. Ran well under penalty when second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (7/2) 37 days ago, coming clear of the others. Up 3 lb but open to further improvement.	81-2227	Hollie Doyle	A Watson	3	59.9 kg	2.38 11/8
3rd	3	5	Horwich (G) [H] Unbeaten in two starts at this C&D. Successful in novice here (13/8) 13 days ago, putting experience to good use and never facing a serious challenge. Handicap debut represents a stiffer test but remains with potential.	790466	Rob Hornby	C G Cox	3	59 kg	5 4/1
—	4	2	Loma Express (F) Left James Ferguson in December and has had two runs for new stable, finishing second of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (2/1) 2 days ago. Handicap debut.	625-32	Non Runner	T Kent	3	56.7 kg	9 8/1
4th	5	1	Douwantitrightnow (F) Lightly raced filly making handicap debut. Fourth of 9 in novice at Newcastle (20/1) 123 days ago on AW debut, shaped well after dwelling and kept on under pressure from 1f out. Open to further improvement.	554-47	S H James	K A Ryan	3	56.2 kg	34 33/1
