—	1	—	Sun Joy (G) Doubled his hurdles tally at Ludlow last October and has run well in defeat a couple of times since, latterly when runner-up at Fontwell (18f) in June. Firmly in the mix. NON RUNNER.	2412-72	Non Runner B Pauling	7	76.2kg	8.50 15/2
1st	2	—	Idaho Fire (G) FAV Runner-up in a point. Easily best effort under Rules when third of 5 in novice at Ffos Las (2½m) 66 days ago on final start for Paul Nicholls. Has joined another excellent yard so not out of things o…	7PP-311	J J Burke James Owen	5	75.3kg	2.50 6/4
—	3	—	Little Ledgend (G) PT Still a maiden but arrives in good form, tongue tied when second of 7 in handicap at Market Rasen (21f) 28 days ago. Must enter calculations with cheekpieces added.	23-2211	S Bowen O Murphy	6	74.8kg	3.50 5/2 Paddy… 3 Betfa… 3 Sky B… 3
3rd	4	—	Play Pretend (G) Course winner who got right back on track with third of 10 in handicap hurdle here (2m) 29 days ago. Goes well round here and a player off an unchanged mark with this step back up in trip also a like…	3225-83	Lee Edwards Dave Roberts	5	73.9kg	3 2/1
—	5	—	The Secret Pearl (M) T Scored at Market Rasen (2m) last April but her more recent form is far less encouraging, cheekpieces tried when a well-held third of 8 in handicap there (17f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip with more r…	254-636	Kielan Woods A M Hales	7	73kg	11 10/1 Sky B… 13 Paddy… 13 Betfa… 12
—	6	—	Estacas (G) P Sole hurdles win came in 2023 but he comes here in decent nick, third of 7 in handicap at Market Rasen (21f) 28 days ago. Needs to build on it if he's to add to his tally.	288/8-23	Luke Scott Dr R Newland & J Insole	9	72.6kg	7.50 13/2 Sky B… 5.50 Betfa… 5.50 Paddy… 5.50
5th	7	—	Bells Of Ufford (G) PT Resumed from 10 weeks off with a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m) 36 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark in his bid for a maiden success.	P54-254	David Noonan Tim Vaughan	6	70.3kg	8 7/1
2nd	8	—	Mancero (G) B Fair hurdles winner on only start in France last spring. Doubled his tally over C&D in May but proved a big let-down when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (21f) 21 days ago. Needs to boun…	41P218	Jack Tudor D Pipe	4	66.7kg	4.50 7/2
6th	9	—	North Account (G) Showed little in 3 Irish maidens. Easy to back and always behind for new yard with sixth of 7 in handicap at Stratford (2¾m) 11 days ago.	00-U666	Harry Reed Nick Scholfield	6	64.9kg	41 40/1
4th	10	—	Strong As Steel (G) Fair form in bumpers but hasn't made much of an impact over hurdles and came in last of 10 in 2m handicap here 29 days ago.	P4/P5P-0	Brendan Powell A W Carroll	7	64.4kg	23 22/1
