| 8th | 1 | — |
Bluegrass (G)
[TP]
Returned to form in first-time blinkers when fourth of 6 in 2m handicap at Fakenham last time (previously unbeaten in 3 C&D starts there), shaping as though this step back up in trip (in another change of headgear) will suit.
|
Charlie Hammond | S Edmunds | 7 | 76.2 kg |

12/1
|
| 4th | 2 | — |
American Land (G)
[T]
Hasn't looked the most straightforward despite a fine recent strike rate in recent seasons, never really looking like landing a 4-timer at Newton Abbot in October. Can go well fresh, though.
|
Brendan Powell | J Tizzard | 8 | 76.2 kg |
23
22/1
|
| 2nd | 3 | — |
Beau Quali (G)
Hasn't proved the easiest to win with but caught the eye when fast-finishing runner-up at Hereford on second start for capable new yard, and he looks worth a chance to build on that with good-value conditional retained.
|
Toby McCain-Mitchell | Christian Williams | 6 | 76.2 kg |
11
10/1
|
| — | 4 | — |
Wolf Moon (G)
Hasn't taken to fences following a promising novice season, though has been given a break/breathing operation, and merits a market check returning to hurdles on a workable mark.
|
Ben Jones | B Pauling | 6 | 74.8 kg |

8/1
|
| 7th | 5 | — |
So You Know (G)
[T]
Improving sort (yard had success with the family) who shaped encouragingly when runner-up on handicap bow at Warwick last time and could progress again now tackling longer trips.
|
Thomas Bellamy | K Bailey & M Nicholls | 5 | 74.4 kg |
4.33
10/3

| 1st | 6 | — |
Authentic Legacy (G)
[P]
Chased home fairly useful sort in Fontwell novice final start last season but something to find at the weights back over hurdles (cheekpieces refitted), despite a creditable chase debut/reappearance at Newbury.
|
Caoilin Quinn | G & J Moore | 6 | 74.4 kg |

| 5th | 7 | — |
It's Top (G)
[T]
Didn't kick on in bumpers following fairly useful debut success here, and having made a bright start over hurdles, ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (soft) latest. Too soon to dismiss, though.
|
Sam Twiston-Davies | O Signy | 6 | 73.9 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 6th | 8 | — |
Torrent (G)
[V]
Hit and miss this season, pulling up over C&D in January, though does at least benefit from drop in grade/return of headgear.
|
Murray Dodd | N J Hawke | 5 | 73.5 kg |

| 9th | 9 | — |
Marlacoo (G)
FAV
[VT]
Runner-up on reappearance here in October and has remained expensive to follow, again looking less-than-straightforward when third in 13-runner handicap at Haydock latest.
|
Stan Sheppard | T Lacey | 6 | 72.6 kg |
3.25
9/4

| 3rd | 10 | — |
Gold For Alec (G)
Has gone backwards since reappearance third, faring no better for headgear when pulled up (in race he'd won the previous year) at Huntingdon in January.
|
Benjamin Poste | T Symonds | 6 | 72.1 kg |

28/1

Lord Of All Saints (G)
[T]
Progressive in handicaps last season and though yet to fire this campaign (finishing well held at Ludlow last time), his yard is in slightly better form now.
|
James Best | H Dickin | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Hackney Hill (G)
[T]
Clearly hasn't been the easiest to train and having left E.J. O'Grady, showed nothing in first-time tongue tie (following 14 months off) on stable/handicap debut at Newbury. Harry Cobden takes over, but that's where the positives end.
|
H Cobden | P F Nicholls | 8 | 70.3 kg |

Chief Sunday (G)
Has blown more cold than hot this season, going in snatches when well beaten in 2m Newbury handicap latest.
