12th	2	—	Jupiter Allen (G) Fairly useful chaser. Jumped soundly to beat some exposed rivals in a 6-runner handicap at Wincanton (25.1f, heavy) in January. Made mistakes when pulled up in Midlands National subsequently. This co…	4231P-0	Lorcan Williams Chester Williams	7	76.7kg	21 20/1
6th	3	—	Magical King (G) FAV P Largely consistent over hurdles, including in better company than this. Finished third behind a next-time-out winner on latest start at Uttoxeter in March (23f, soft). Yard in good form, and he shoul…	4/55P33-	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	7	76.7kg	7 6/1
10th	4	—	Freshers Week (G) Irish point winner. Improved to get within 2¾ lengths of Daylatedollarshort (entered race 5) at Wetherby in March. Let down by his jumping when posting his first poor effort at Punchestown (19f) subs…	12333P-	Daire James McConville C E Longsdon	5	75.3kg	12 11/1
3rd	5	—	Got A Dream (G) Landed a gamble on return/handicap debut at this corresponding meeting last year (19.5f). Subsequently won twice at Warwick/Exeter, finding plenty for pressure to make it 3 wins from 4 in handicaps l…	6/1161-3	Sean Houlihan Nicky Martin	7	74.8kg	8 7/1
—	6	—	Gold For Alec (G) Fell Suited by test of speed when successful on first try over a staying trip at Hereford (25.5f) in April. Ended last season on a high when beaten 6½ lengths in a Class 2 handicap at Haydock. Should be a…	P31-76F	Benjamin Poste T Symonds	6	73.9kg	12 11/1
—	7	—	Into The Park (G) Pulled Up Fairly useful at his best for Hobbs & White yard (became temperamental). Didn't take much interest before running on for a distant fourth at Market Rasen on sole start for Billy Aprahamian in May. Fe…	4P347-4	David Bass M Comley	7	73.9kg	9.50 17/2
7th	8	—	Golden Maverick (G) V Quirky 3-time winner for Jamie Snowden. Lazy streak still in evidence when runner-up on stable debut at Uttoxeter (2½m) in July. Certainly worth a go over 3m, though he remains one to treat with caut…	441F/5-2	Lorcan Murtagh Tim Vaughan	6	73.9kg	34 33/1
—	9	—	Punxsutawney Phil (G) Pulled Up P Front runner who landed handicaps at Musselburgh/Newcastle in 2024/5 season. Hasn't pulled up any trees in a couple of Flat starts following an 18-month absence. Tricky to assess back hurdling with u…	60142/P	Tom Midgley M Walford	9	73kg	51 50/1
—	10	—	Balboa (G) Pulled Up Ended a long losing run in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (2½m, heavy) in April. Matched that form when 2½-length third in handicap at Stratford (2¾m) when last seen in June. This is more competitiv…	4331-43	Callum Pritchard J W Mullins	6	73kg	9.50 17/2
1st	11	—	Tzarmix (G) P Strong-staying type. Made a positive start for present yard last season. Successful on reappearance at Ludlow (3m) prior to 3 consecutive runner-up finishes. Likely had enough for the year when below…	312224-	C Gethings A Ralph	8	72.6kg	23 22/1
—	12	—	Queens Venture (M) Four-time winner for Dan Skelton. Patchy record for current yard, beaten by more than a 3-month absence when well held at Worcester (2½m). May at least benefit from the step back up in trip.	3P-4225	Bryan Carver D Summersby	6	72.6kg	34 33/1 Betfa… 29 Paddy… 29 Sky B… 29
9th	13	—	Jager Time (G) Decisive winner of a small-field handicap at Newton Abbot (3¼m) in July. Returning from 7 weeks away and seemingly no excuses when 8¼-length third off this mark there last time.	1-43213	Fern O'Brien F O'Brien	7	71.2kg	17 16/1
8th	14	—	Jaytee (G) P Veteran who won twice over hurdles at Doncaster (3m) in 2023/24 season. Clearly hasn't been the easiest to train since, and he was the first beaten over a trip short of his optimum on reappearance at…	1/503-67	Sam Twiston-Davies Ian Williams	11	71.2kg	51 50/1
—	15	—	Amatchmadeinheaven (G) Pulled Up H Low-mileage 5-y-o. Successful in Exeter bumper/maiden hurdle prior to racing too freely under his regular amateur rider on handicap bow at Warwick (19f) in June. Longer trip a question mark, though r…	11/014-4	Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell N & W Twiston-Davies	5	70.8kg	7.50 13/2
2nd	16	—	Torrent (G) P Runner-up behind a now-useful one on reappearance at this fixture 12 months ago. Arrives fit from a summer campaign this time around, going close to snapping a 2-year losing run at Uttoxeter (23f) la…	6-45333	David Noonan N J Hawke	5	70.3kg	8.50 15/2
5th	17	—	Muskerry Rock (G) P Narrowly denied in 2 handicap hurdles before scoring readily over fences for Dan Skelton in July. Gone the wrong way in couple of starts since, latterly on first run for new connections. Something to…	221P34	S Bowen M Bowen	7	70.3kg	26 25/1
11th	18	—	Faded Fantasy (G) T Hit-and-miss performer. Tumbled down the weights since winning back-to-back staying handicaps last summer. Considerately handled over an inadequate trip at Uttoxeter (2½m) last time. Has now dipped b…	585480	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	7	66.2kg	23 22/1
