Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
9th	1	4	Three Dons (G) P Didn't fire on the Flat last year but has been in good form over hurdles this winter and does benefit from a drop in grade on return to the level. Cheekpieces go back on.	08/8940-	Myla Coppins A W Carroll	7	63.5kg	7 6/1
1st	2	6	Dancing Tiger (G) P Won a handicap in this grade at Goodwood (heavy) in September but didn't meet expectations (sent off 6/4 favourite) when fourth of 6 at Bath the following month. Still relatively unexposed starting h…	224018	Owen Lewis R A Teal	4	63kg	8.50 15/2
11th	3	15	Bearwith (G) FAV Capitalised on handy mark over C&D in June and similar story when successful on all-weather last month. Shaped as if still in good form in muddling race at Newcastle latest and while he'll need some …	491257	Harry Vigors H Bethell	8	62.6kg	6.50 11/2
12th	4	8	Distinction (G) V Won 3 times last year but struggled for form as the season ended. Did finish close third in this race 12 months ago, though hasn't had the benefit of a pipe-opener this time around.	598596	Finlay Bassett J Mackie	8	62.1kg	21 20/1
4th	5	13	Endless Whisper (M) Teofilo mare is very lightly raced for her age and shaped well when runner-up twice at this course last season. Ran no sort of race at Southwell on latest start in July but has proven herself capable…	55/220-4	Lewis Chalkley M & D Easterby	6	62.1kg	8 7/1
—	6	9	Tee Aitch Aye (G) Ended last season in form, without shaping like an obviously well-handicapped horse, though he should come on for his seasonal reappearance at Newcastle.	632145	Cara Tuke I Jardine	5	61.7kg	17 16/1
6th	7	5	It's Only Fun (G) Lost his way on the Flat last season and didn't shape with any immediate promise when tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell on return.	412845	Tom Kiely-Marshall Sara Ender	4	61.2kg	51 50/1
2nd	8	3	Golspie (G) P Arrives on the back of a busy all-weather campaign but was still in fine heart when well-backed fourth of 10 at Newcastle last time, despite not being seen to best effect. Big field/galloping track s…	363314	C Horgan P Morris	6	60.8kg	8 7/1
13th	9	1	Bay Dream Believer (M) H Seems more straightforward nowadays and probably finished last year in better heart than form figures suggest (race not run to suit at Newcastle in November). She's been a well-backed winner over C&D…	615339	K S McHugh M Walford	7	60.3kg	17 16/1
7th	10	14	Fire Eyes (M) Makes rare start over 1¼m having won a trio of 1m handicaps last season, the latest at Redcar in first-time cheekpieces in November. Likely needed her comeback at Wolverhampton but usual headgear aga…	15-6771	Ashley Lewis Roger Fell	8	59.9kg	19 18/1
10th	11	7	Relevant Range (G) In good heart on all-weather this winter, shaping as though worth another go over this trip when fourth of 9 in 1m handicap at Southwell last time, and he's one to consider on first turf start for cu…	614095	Elle-May Croot I Furtado	7	59.9kg	12 11/1
5th	12	2	Hashtagnotions (G) HP Won twice last summer/autumn and returned in good heart (despite looking rusty) when third of 10 at Newcastle. Hood added to usual cheekpieces and should at least be competitive back on turf.	6-35577	Ethan Tindall R A Fahey	4	58.1kg	7.50 13/2
8th	13	11	Miners Gamble (G) FAV Inconsistent performer remains with just 1 win, though did well to finish sixth of 10 off slow gallop at Newcastle last time. Well backed on that occasion and worth noting he was sent off favourite w…	33/	Shay Farmer B Ellison	5	57.6kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	14	12	Recobella (M) Form tailed off after winning strongly-run apprentice classified stakes at Nottingham last July and faces no easy task upped in grade on return.	—	Donagh Murphy P A Kirby	5	55.3kg	17 16/1
13th	15	10	Scarfo (G) Failed to come on for his reappearance when last of 9 in classified stakes at Wolverhampton and faces a very tall order at the weights.	263345	Zoe Lewis B J Llewellyn	5	54.9kg	67 66/1
