9th	1	—	Versatile (G) Modest on Flat (stays 1½m) and also refused to race in May. Posted a good third in 2m Southwell handicap hurdle in June and reportedly lost shoe when below par at Worcester since. Could bounce back.	3-43494	Alex Chadwick James Owen	5	76.2kg	12 11/1
10th	2	—	Alshadhian (G) T Little show over hurdles but scored over fences at Southwell last June and back with two solid chasing efforts in the frame at Southwell and over 2m here this summer. Can take a step forward reverted…	223-340	Jack Tudor O Greenall & J Guerriero	6	75.3kg	9.50 17/2
11th	3	—	Chicago Storm (G) Fair winner on Flat for Daisy Hitchins. Pulled up on yard bow in handicap chase at Hexham (2m) last month. Switches to hurdles with something to prove.	5F03-P0	Lorcan Murtagh F P Murtagh	7	75.3kg	81 80/1
7th	4	—	American Empire (G) T Fair bumper winner. Remains winless in this sphere and tongue strap on for 1st time when a well-held third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (17f) 28 days ago.	337589	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	6	74.8kg	17 16/1
3rd	5	—	Iolaos Du Mou (G) H Scored at Warwick (2m) last May. Yet to hit top form this summer, though did too much too soon when sixth of 10 over C&D 17 days ago.	214-663	Tabitha Worsley T Culhane & S Barclay	8	73kg	13 12/1
4th	6	—	Auntie Maggie (M) C&D winner last June but not the easiest to catch right and was pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (2m) 37 days ago. More is needed back in this sphere.	63-52P4	C Gethings A Ralph	7	72.1kg	9.50 17/2
6th	7	—	Colinski (G) P Modest 1½m Flat winner. Solid third in novice hurdle at Hexham (2m) in June and run best ignored (clipped heels and almost unseated rider) when fifth over C&D on handicap bow since. May still do bett…	4U356	Charlie Maggs R Menzies	4	71.2kg	23 22/1
1st	8	—	Ashdown Forest (G) FAV Fair maiden on the Flat for Ed Walker. Has yet to translate that ability to hurdles (for Jedd O'Keeffe) but could fare better after a breathing operation on first run for Dan Skelton. Interesting.	76-1331	Harry Skelton D Skelton	4	69.4kg	1.83 5/6
8th	9	—	Captain Connor (G) Debut third in Huntingdon bumper in November. Little show in 4 starts over hurdles since, taking strong hold in first-time cheekpieces when fading seventh of 8 on handicap debut at Market Rasen (21f)…	273423	Jamie Hamilton M Walford	4	68kg	13 12/1
5th	10	—	Harry Gulliver (G) Opened his account at Huntingdon in October 2024. Absent since finishing down the field at Taunton the following month. Entitled to need this following 20 months off.	U138/56	Bryan Carver A M Hales	8	67.6kg	19 18/1
2nd	11	—	Littletown Lad (G) T Fourth in a bumper for Daragh Bourke last April. Well held since over hurdles for current yard, behind when unseated rider in handicap hurdle over C&D 9 days ago.	U21131	Jonathan England S England	6	64.9kg	13 12/1
