Runners

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
5th	1	—	He's Tailor Made (G) [H1] Showed nothing on last month's debut at Chepstow. Hood goes on.	Rian Corcoran	A Wintle	5	72.6 kg	151 150/1
7th	2	—	Hercules Honour (G) [T1] Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam (c140/h113) 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Needs a market check for a yard that does well in this sphere. Wears tongue strap.	Jonjo O'Neill Jr.	J & A O'Neill	5	72.6 kg	8 7/1
9th	3	—	Jim Santiago Bowie (G) Hinted at ability when well held in bumper at Taunton on debut in February.	James Davies	D J S Ffrench Davis	5	72.6 kg	67 66/1
2nd	4	—	Kappa Des Mottes (G) £65,000 Kapgarde gelding who hinted at ability at Southwell on debut in February. Probably more one for the longer term.	Ned Fox	T Symonds	5	72.6 kg	26 25/1
1st	5	—	My Mate Aj (G) Produced a promising first effort when third in 11-runner Southwell bumper in November, travelling well and looking the likely winner for most of the home straight. Failed to build on that at Lingfield 10 weeks later but worth another chan…	Callum Pritchard	B Pauling	5	72.6 kg	2.75 7/4
8th	6	—	Oykel Bridge (G) FAV Zoffany colt who improved on debut form when third in 10-runner bumper at Haydock (15.6f) 6 weeks ago, despite showing a quirky side. Must enter the reckoning.	Thomas Bellamy	A King	5	72.6 kg	2.63 13/8
3rd	7	—	Sky Grove (G) [H1] Order of St George gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Nitty Gritty, and half-brother to bumper winner Lionnar. Bumped into a promising rival on the second of 2 starts in Irish points (Jan 18), so worth a market check ahead of Rules debut. Ho…	K Brogan	L Horsfall	5	72.6 kg	12 11/1
11th	8	—	The Hostage (G) Showed a bit when sixth of 12 in bumper at Huntingdon on debut last month, unable to sustain effort. Entitled to build on that.	James Bowen	W Greatrex	5	72.6 kg	15 14/1
—	9	—	Tommy Tipa (G) Frammassone gelding. Dam (h124), 2m/17f hurdle winner (stayed 23f), also 11.5f winner on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m winner) Baby King.	Jack Andrews	S Bradstock	5	72.6 kg	21 20/1
10th	10	—	Autumn Air (G) Made little appeal on paper and shaped in kind on last month's debut at Stratford.	Charlie Deutsch	H J Evans	4	68.9 kg	151 150/1
4th	11	—	Bound For Glory (G) Circus Maximus gelding who possibly found the test too much (Flat-bred) when fourth in 9-runner bumper at Catterick (15.7f) on debut in January, no extra final 1f.	C Gethings	R Stephens	4	68.9 kg	21 20/1
6th	12	—	Right Royal Rascal (G) Maxios gelding. Dam (c100/h110), 25f/3¼m hurdle winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdle/useful chase winner (stayed 3m) Tarada and useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Marada out of fairly useful hurdle/chase winner up to 3m Kerada. Bred mo…	Benjamin Poste	T Symonds	4	68.9 kg	11 10/1
