2nd	1	—	Dutch Corner (G) HT Half-brother to high-class hurdler Yorkhill. Suited by the switch to front-running tactics when off the mark in a Newton Abbot maiden. Didn't have the rub of the green when sixth in competitive novic…	33216-2	Harry Skelton D Skelton	5	73kg	2.75 7/4
1st	2	—	Saint Jeannais (G) FAV Looked more than useful when making a winning bumper debut at Worcester in October. Didn't build on that in an Ascot bumper but was again very impressive sent hurdling at Bangor in May. Open to above…	14-1	Sam Twiston-Davies N & W Twiston-Davies	6	73kg	1.83 5/6
5th	3	—	Cheap Sandwiches (G) Third only start in Irish points. Went wrong in bumpers following a fair second on Rules debut. Didn't show much when well-beaten fifth of 12 on hurdles bow over C&D in April. Plenty to find on reapp…	3/2445-	Freddie Gordon C Gordon	5	69.9kg	13 12/1
4th	4	—	Sharu (G) Showed ability amid temperament when runner-up in pair of maidens for Henry de Bromhead this summer. Subsequently sold for £20,000 and hard to be confident he'll find the required improvement for new…	70-622	Sean Houlihan C J Gray	5	69.9kg	51 50/1
9th	5	—	Short Sell (G) Off mark in points at second attempt in March. Beaten 33 lengths in a Fontwell bumper on first start for Dan Skelton in May. Looks the stable second string.	31-89	C J Todd D Skelton	5	69.9kg	151 150/1
3rd	6	—	Hive Runner (G) €16,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, sister to useful hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m) Thebarrowman and half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Warrantor…	1-	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	4	69.4kg	6 5/1
7th	7	—	Look Don't Stare (G) H Well held in bumpers and similar story on hurdling debut here (100/1) in April. Returns in first-time hood.	997-7	James Best H Dickin	4	69.4kg	301 300/1
6th	8	—	Morissette (M) Down the field in a heavy-ground Gowran bumper on Rules debut. Placed Irish point starts prior to a creditable 6¾-length fourth on hurdling debut at Worcester (2m). That form is still some way off wh…	3253-46	Bryan Carver D Summersby	6	66.7kg	51 50/1
8th	9	—	Detroit Bay (F) H Hasn't offered much on either start since her debut bumper fourth at Wincanton. Since left Jimmy Frost and likely an outsider second time up over hurdles.	4P0-	Lorcan Williams J Scott	4	66.2kg	251 250/1
—	10	—	Shirleynightingale (F) Pulled Up Showed ability in a couple of Irish maidens for Tom Dreaper last season. Others arrive with stronger form, though, and she may be a longer-term project for new yard.	84-	Jack Andrews T Ellis	4	66.2kg	126 125/1
