3rd	1	—	Daaris (G) P Hasn't looked in much form this summer, latterly on belated return to hurdles at Sedgefield (17f). Significant step up in trip (fair stayer at his best on Flat) at least offers some hope of a revival…	334/836	Lee Edwards K Frost	7	75.3kg	23 22/1
1st	2	—	Crafty Gael (G) FAV PT Ex-Irish recruit who again did all his best work at the finish behind a next-time-out winner here (2½m) last time. Step up in trip should suit, and he's taken to get off the mark on just his third st…	008-321	S Bowen O Murphy	7	74.4kg	2.63 13/8
4th	3	—	Brionywells (M) Completed the first leg of a double when successful over C&D on return in May. Still in good heart when 12½ lengths third (behind a dominant Skelton improver) at Stratford (2¾m) latest. Expected to g…	48-1143	Nick Slatter D Killahena & G McPherson	6	74.4kg	10 9/1
7th	4	—	Butchers Bill (G) P Well below his Irish form in 5 starts for current connections. Plenty to prove returning from 3 months off.	5F-P7P7	Isabelle Ryder A Day	6	71.7kg	41 40/1
2nd	5	—	Forest Spirit (M) P Fair middle-distance winner on the Flat. Hasn't hit those heights over hurdles, though ran one of her better races when 3¾ lengths third (possibly unlucky not to finish closer) over 2½m here latest. …	274322	James Bowen M Bowen	5	69.9kg	4 3/1
9th	6	—	Athena's Dream (F) V Error-prone maiden who has run to a fairly consistent level in staying handicaps. No match for an eased-down winner when 10 lengths second of 5 at Fontwell (3¼m) latest. Change of headgear will need …	235293	Megan Bevan H Dickin	4	69.4kg	11 10/1
8th	7	—	Could Be You (G) Placed both starts in Irish points. Set to fare no better than on handicap/stable debut when falling in 2½m handicap here on return (had breathing operation in interim). At least warrants a market ch…	0P9-F85	Bradley Harris N P Mulholland	6	69.4kg	13 12/1
5th	8	—	French Diablo (G) Lightly-raced 4-y-o. Form of July's breakthrough success at Stratford (2¾m) hasn't worked out, and he ran badly when bidding to follow up there 16 days ago.	31P542	David Bass M Comley	4	68.9kg	5.50 9/2
6th	9	—	Ramaah (G) V Fair all-weather winner. Change of headgear has been the catalyst for his best couple of hurdle runs, travelling as well as any when 2¼ lengths third at Market Rasen (23f) 10 weeks ago. Needs more ag…	38-5336	James Best S-J Davies	5	68kg	29 28/1
11th	10	—	Tis But A Scratch (G) P Long-standing maiden. Followed one of his better efforts with a bad one at Uttoxeter in May last year. Easy enough to swerve on return from 16-month absence.	57P/35-0	Tabitha Worsley G Howell	10	66.2kg	101 100/1
10th	11	—	Alex The Great (G) BT Made little impact in this sphere, failing to last home on second handicap hurdle start at Stratford (2¾m) in June. Has again looked regressive on Flat since.	9-4765	Brendan Powell A W Carroll	6	66.2kg	29 28/1
