Runners

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Apache Tribe (G) FAV Point recruit who looked promising in bumpers and won as he liked on hurdles debut (final run for Noel Kelly) at around 2½m here (heavy) in February. This is more demanding but he's open to significant improvement for his new yard.	Danny Gilligan	G Elliott	6	74.4 kg	1.83 5/6
7th	2	—	Laguna Beach (G) Improved from hurdles debut when seeing off a pair of subsequent winners at Hereford in December. Late mistake proved costly at Ascot next time before struggling in a Grade 3 Sandown handicap. Will need to resume his progress in order to p…	James Bowen	N J Henderson	5	74.4 kg	10 9/1
—	3	—	Leader Crik (G) Very tall gelding who finished runner-up sole start in Irish points. Looked in need of the experience on hurdles debut and duly stepped up on that following a breathing operation when landing a Doncaster maiden (19f, soft) in February. NON…	Non Runner	N & W Twiston-Davies	5	74.4 kg	9 8/1
6th	4	—	Our Boy Stan (G) Off the mark at the second attempt in bumpers and overcame inexperience to make a successful hurdling debut in 5-runner novice at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November. Took a backward step at Cheltenham next time, though, and it would appear th…	S Bowen	B Pauling	5	74.4 kg	13 12/1
2nd	5	—	Stride On (G) Bumper winner who made it third time lucky in this sphere with an impressive display here (19.5f, heavy) in February, storming clear in that maiden to win by 17 lengths. Early signs suggest that that wasn't the strongest of races but there…	D R Fox	L Russell & M Scudamore	6	74.4 kg	8.50 15/2
5th	6	—	Timesareachanging (G) Point winner who made a successful start over hurdles in 12-runner Navan maiden (2¾m, heavy) in January. Headed close home after cutting out the running back at Navan in a novice event last month and should give another good account.	Philip Donovan	A Slattery	7	74.4 kg	8.50 15/2
4th	7	—	Allfor (G) Safely held on Rules debut in a bumper at this course but took a step forward when runner-up on hurdling bow back here (2m, soft) last time. Promises to be suited by this stiffer test but Stride On is presumably the stable first-string.	P W Wadge	L Russell & M Scudamore	5	72.1 kg	21 20/1
3rd	8	—	West Hill Verde (G) Runner-up on first of 3 bumper starts and going the right way over hurdles without winning, showing his best form yet when third of 10 in Grade 2 Premier Novices' Hurdle at Kelso last time, sticking to task after bad mistake 4 out. Will be…	Sean Houlihan	J W Mullins	6	72.1 kg	6 5/1
—	9	—	Queens Secret (M) £40,000 purchase after winning an Irish point last spring and positive start under Rules when finding just one too good in a 13-runner Hexham maiden (2½m, heavy). It's a pretty big ask for her to go and beat the boys here but she's certain…	Danny McMenamin	Ruth Jefferson	6	68.9 kg	29 28/1
