2nd	2	—	Norman Fletcher (G) FAV V Fallen a long way in weights since last success in November 2024 and made the frame for second time this term when creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Worcester (2½m, good) 23 days ago.…	725322	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	7	76.2kg	4 3/1
7th	3	—	Rockstown Girl (M) T Fair hurdler/chaser who got back to winning ways in handicap hurdle at Down Royal in March. Placed on next 3 outings and shaped as if still in good heart when sixth in maiden chase at Wexford in June…	336742	James Smith A McCann	8	75.3kg	13 12/1
1st	4	—	Virtual Rock (G) T Won novice at this course in 2024 but lightly raced and well held since. Best watched on first start for another new yard.	21/811	J J Burke D Donovan	7	74.8kg	34 33/1
9th	5	—	Tommy Cullen (G) P Winning chaser who capitalised on a lower mark in this sphere when taking 8-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) over C&D (good to soft) 51 days ago by 3 lengths from October Hill. May have been flattered b…	2/4-44P1	J M Quinlan M Crawley	8	74.8kg	12 11/1
3rd	6	—	Glance Of Glory (G) P Landed back-to-back victories at Worcester last autumn. No further progress thereafter but won after a break last year so is worth monitoring in the market back from a breathing operation and with Se…	14F8-31	S Bowen M Keighley	6	73.9kg	6 5/1
10th	7	—	All Inn Hand (M) BT Dual scorer last year but lightly raced and patchy form since, pulled up over fences at Worcester latest. Makes limited appeal back hurdling with blinkers reapplied.	4-P4P02	James Bowen M Bowen	6	73.9kg	13 12/1
6th	8	—	October Hill (M) PT Looked stretched by longer trip at Perth latest and had posted good second in C&D handicap hurdle previously. One for the shortlist.	1B2562	Rian Corcoran D Pipe	6	72.6kg	12 11/1
5th	9	—	Phantom Gold (G) FAV Posted career best when taking 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (2½m, good, 10/11) 61 days ago, form that has worked out well (Royal Rhythm in third, has won next 2 starts). Since joined Tom Ell…	6-42215	Jack Andrews T Ellis	8	72.6kg	4 3/1
12th	10	—	Thiscouldbetheone (G) PT Lightly-raced maiden who showed more like his hurdling debut form when third of 13 in maiden at Tramore (2¾m) in May. Switched to new yard and shaped as if needing the run at Worcester last month but…	59/60-39	David Noonan Henry Oliver	5	72.6kg	67 66/1
8th	11	—	Faded Fantasy (G) Won back-to-back handicap hurdles over longer trips last summer but has largely disappointed since. Took a step back in the right direction after a breathing operation when fourth of 11 in handicap h…	585480	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	7	71.2kg	23 22/1
4th	12	—	Royal Rhythm (G) B Ended a long losing run in dominant fashion at Worcester (2½m) last month and followed up, off 9 lb higher, in 6-runner handicap hurdle over longer trip at Fontwell since. Can race off same mark here…	5P3114	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	10	69.9kg	11 10/1
