—	1	—	Maillot Blanc (G) Pulled Up Won this race 12 months ago and resumed winning ways when dead-heating over 21f at Kelso (good) last month. Should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.	832-1P8	Bruce Lynn N W Alexander	9	76.2kg	17 16/1
—	2	—	Shighness (M) P Third over hurdles at Sedgefield (27f, soft) in February but has failed to complete in a chase and hurdle at Hexham since.	5663F-U	Joshua Thompson Micky Hammond	9	75.3kg	21 20/1 Paddy… 26 Betfa… 26 Sky B… 26
5th	3	—	Creadan Grace (M) Gained breakthrough victory at Down Royal (3m) in October and good in-frame efforts on both complete starts since, latterly fourth of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good to soft). Likely to have a big say fo…	613P-45	James Smith G Elliott	6	73.9kg	9.50 17/2
6th	4	—	Stiletto (G) TP Successful 3 times last summer, including C&D under Sean Bowen. Respectable fifth of 7 at Worcester (2½m, good) 16 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Tongue strap back on. Has returned to the …	9-56135	S Bowen Mrs S Leech	8	73.5kg	5.50 9/2
1st	5	—	Our Girl Sal (M) T Won at Kelso last May. Followed that by finishing a respectable 13½ lengths fifth of 9 to Maillot Blanc in this race (final start for Paul Robson). Off since but has joined a yard which is building u…	2315/15-	Ryan Mania A Nicol	8	71.7kg	13 12/1
3rd	6	—	Dalileo (G) Presumably needed a recent course outing after 6 months off and is a former winner of this race. At the veteran stage now but still no surprise were he to go well.	117895	Peter Kavanagh Miss L Harrison	11	71.7kg	19 18/1
9th	7	—	Burgundy Man (G) P 0-20 over hurdles but came good at the first time of asking over fences over 3m in the mud here last October. Hasn't got close to that level in 3 subsequent chase starts (including here this spring) …	P9PP65	R P McLernon R M Smith	9	70.3kg	26 25/1
10th	8	—	Luminaries (G) T Had a cracking spell over hurdles last spring, winning 4 times between March and May. Didn't really take to chasing when last seen in the autumn but has dropped to a favourable mark if reviving back …	077211	Sean Quinlan Ewan Whillans	9	69.9kg	51 50/1
2nd	9	—	Leader Wing (G) FAV Failed to win over hurdles for Gillian Boanas but reached the frame on several occasions and has been the subject of a significant trainer change since finishing third at Musselburgh in March. Has ha…	462533-	Harry Skelton D Skelton	6	69.4kg	1.73 8/11
—	10	—	Jakana (M) Pulled Up P Increasingly temperamental mare who looked regressive over hurdles last season. Seemingly stopped the slide when fourth of 8 on 3m course chase debut in April but ran no sort of race at Cartmel since…	5PPP4-P	D R Fox L Kerr	7	68kg	51 50/1
8th	11	—	Breaking Ground (M) HT Well beaten in a couple of points and hasn't fared much better over hurdles. It remains to be seen whether a significant step up in trip helps matters. Also has a hood and tongue tie combined for the…	50-0865	Toby Wynne R M Smith	5	67.6kg	101 100/1
11th	12	—	Watchoutitscookie (G) Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable third of 8 at Exeter (23f) in April but underperformed when seventh of 11 at Hexham (23f, good to soft) since.	3-70337	James Davies N J Hawke	8	65.3kg	19 18/1
7th	13	—	Myfavouritesister (M) TP Maiden. Reached the frame in course handicap hurdles (including this trip) last autumn but ran as if amiss on 2m Sedgefield chase debut on return from 6 months off in April. Off another 10 weeks sinc…	43P-756	Charlie Maggs P Neville	7	64.9kg	23 22/1
4th	14	—	Reagrove Lord (G) VT Shaped as if retaining ability after 13 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. Enters calculations with that run behind him.	32899/4	Jonathon Bewley G Bewley	8	64.4kg	21 20/1
