5th	1	—	Katie's Melody (M) P Point/bumper winner. Finished 2¼ lengths second in a higher grade on handicap bow at Chepstow in April. Undone by her jumping (well backed) on chasing debut at Hexham since. Return to hurdles/first-t…	25342-P	Calum Hogan Harry Derham	6	76.2kg	13 12/1
2nd	2	—	Theatre Tom (G) FAV Half-brother to useful hurdler Theatre Man. Made the frame both completed starts in Irish points. Much tighter in the betting/looked set to go very close when falling heavily here (2½m) on second han…	3757/4F	S Bowen O Murphy	7	75.7kg	2.20 6/5
1st	3	—	Herbygoesbananas (G) Fairly useful debut bumper winner for Chris Gordon in 2024. Well below that level over hurdles for present yard. Has hit the frame (without threatening to win) all 3 handicap starts. Should at least …	663-349	G Sheehan Miss H C Knight	5	73kg	6 5/1
8th	4	—	Warrioress (M) Related to some fairly useful types. Second in an Irish maiden point. Fared better than previously under Rules when beaten 13½ lengths in a weak maiden at Huntingdon (21f, heavy). Step up in trip/swi…	2/P95-	Kielan Woods A M Hales	6	69.4kg	17 16/1

6th	6	—	Rest Is The Best (M) Lightly-raced 5-y-o. Shaped like a stayer when hitting the frame in a couple of Chepstow handicaps (19.5f, soft) last winter. Didn't see out her race final start of last season at Ffos Las (2½m, heav…	076425-	James Best H Dickin	5	66.7kg	21 20/1
4th	7	—	I Love You Sivola (G) P Capitalised on a lowly mark to make a winning debut for his impressive young trainer at Hereford (25.5f) last month. Back in headgear when first past the post at Fontwell (2¾m) 9 days on, subsequentl…	969P-1D	Freddie Mitchell M Comley	8	66.7kg	5 4/1
3rd	8	—	Locked Down Lad (G) Point bumper winner. Came closest to breaking his duck under Rules here last summer. Rediscovered some form when 3½-length fourth (behind a next-time-out winner) here (2½m) in July. Certainly worth a…	U68P-64	David Noonan J Tickle	6	66.2kg	11 10/1
—	9	—	Dexperado (G) Pulled Up TV Hasn't got competitive in 5 starts since finishing runner-up twice at Market Rasen in spring 2024. Hard to be confident sporting a change of headgear following a further 5 months away.	27556/P	Tom Broughton N Kent	7	65.8kg	51 50/1
