1st	1	—	Passing Diamond (G) FAV Produced a performance more in keeping with his fair bumper form when landing a gamble in 9-runner novice (2m) at this course 17 days ago, kept up to work.

2nd	2	—	Bold Step (G) 6-y-o who shaped promisingly when second of 11 in a bumper at Exeter on debut in January. This Scorpion gelding looks an interesting prospect now going over hurdles.	2-	James Bowen	N J Henderson	6	70.8 kg	2 1/1

Bred to be suited by the longer trip but it remains to be seen whether she's able to build…	3P8-23P	Sean Quinlan	W Coltherd	7	67.6 kg	19 18/1
