9th	1	8	North West Gal (F) Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the fourth attempt in 5f maiden at Newcastle in November. Shaped as though in need of the run on reappearance/handicap debut at Catterick (6f) 17 days ag…	3231-59	Jason Hart J & S Quinn	3	61.2kg	5 4/1
—	1	—	Hen Party (F)	3222-42	— E A L Dunlop	3	61.2kg	—
5th	2	6	Black Missile (G) P Promising third at Leicester on debut in October but has merely matched that form in 3 starts since, still not looking the finished article when fifth on handicap debut/reappearance 3 weeks ago. Chee…	344-553	Ryan Sexton Miss J A Camacho	3	60.8kg	8 7/1
2nd	3	5	Valor Spirit (G) Placed on 6 of 8 juvenile starts, weakening out of it on heavy ground when last seen at Nottingham in October. Back from 7 months off and has moved yards in the interim (also gelded).	3035-26	P Mulrennan B Smart	3	60.8kg	10 9/1
8th	4	9	Come On Over (G) Reacted well to a visor when close second on 7f Haydock nursery debut for Charlie Clover in September. Has had excuses since and with the return to 6f very much in his favour, he's on the shortlist.	084214	D Nolan D O'Meara	3	60.8kg	17 16/1
7th	5	7	Uncertainty (F) Fair maiden (trained by Richard Hannon first 6 starts). Looked hard ride when last seen in November starting out for this yard and also too free on reappearance at Doncaster.	4-87976	T Eaves S Whitaker	3	60.3kg	51 50/1
11th	6	1	Great Success (G) Failed to meet market expectations in a trio of 2-y-o outings. Brushed aside on reappearance/handicap debut over 7f at Leicester and has plenty to prove back sprinting.	84-0054	O J Orr R A Fahey	3	59.4kg	21 20/1
10th	7	11	Country Artiste (F) Hasn't come close to matching 2-y-o form for Clive Cox both starts for this yard on the all-weather in January.	5-67097	S H James Craig Lidster	3	59.4kg	29 28/1
4th	8	4	Head For Freedom (G) Won a claimer on second start at Beverley a year ago. Better form when placed 3 times in nurseries after and having shaped quite well on reappearance, his latest run is easy to excuse.	20-4945	Joanna Mason M & D Easterby	3	59kg	9 8/1
6th	9	2	Solar Cooper (G) Capitalised on drop in grade with cheekpieces fitted when landing 9-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago. Shoulders 6 lb penalty but he's clearly in good order.	801696	J Garritty M Walford	3	59kg	8 7/1
1st	10	10	Simba's Pride (G) FAV Bred to be a sprinter and returned to 6f, he left his qualifying form behind when making a successful handicap debut at Hamilton 4 weeks ago. Came up just a neck shy in follow-up bid over C&D 11 days…	215434	Mark Winn M Dods	3	58.5kg	3.25 9/4
3rd	11	3	Northern Tempest (G) T Couldn't build on a promising final qualifying run when disappointing on return/handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) and again too free with a tongue tie fitted over 7f at Southwell 3 weeks ago.	083465	Connor Beasley M Dods	3	57.2kg	15 14/1
