Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Dartmouth Castle (G) FAV Bumper winner who made the most of a good opportunity when opening his hurdle account in 5-runner maiden at Sedgefield (2½m, good) last month. Has excellent claims of following up.	Theo Gillard	D McCain Jnr	6	73.5 kg	1.73 8/11
1st	2	—	Kashchei (G) [P] Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who matched previous form in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when third of 13 in 2¾m event at Downpatrick on latest start, clear of rest. Obvious contender in this small-field affair.	Finn Brickley	C Collins	6	70.3 kg	5 4/1
2nd	3	—	Rupert The Prince (G) [V] Fair stayer on Flat, successful 3 times in 2025. Sold from Paddy Butler's yard for 36,000 gns but was beaten a long way out on his hurdling debut at Newcastle in January. Much more like it with a creditable effort back on the level at Ripo…	Charlie Maggs	R Menzies	4	66.7 kg	3.25 9/4

Betting forecast: Dartmouth Castle (8/11), Rupert The Prince (9/4), Kashchei (4/1)
