3rd	1	—	Saint Polo (G) FAV PT Successful over C&D in June prior to completing a handicap hurdle hat-trick with little to spare at Sedgefield last month. Looked a difficult ride when beaten 16½ lengths on second chase start here l…	711133	Luke Scott J Candlish	6	76.2kg	2.38 11/8

5th	3	—	Cogital (G) P Veteran who capitalised on a much-reduced mark when making it 2-2 over C&D in June, beating a next-time-out winner in the process. This is probably a better race, despite the fact it's a selling hand…	57402-1	Harry Atkins B J Llewellyn	11	68kg	7 6/1

2nd	5	—	Princess Of Ballea (F) Modest place form in bumpers. Only showed a bit on what was effectively her hurdling debut over C&D in June (hasn't bettered that form in 2 starts since). Improvement needed to defy her opening mark.	3-U6642	Harry Reed Daisy Hitchins	4	64.4kg	23 22/1
1st	6	—	Saucats (G) PT Course regular who backed up his breakthrough success here (2¼m) with a handful of creditable placed efforts over the summer. Back on his winning mark following a below-par run over C&D last time and…	373714	Callum Pritchard J Tickle	5	64.4kg	4.33 10/3
