3rd	1	—	Jo Coko (G) FAV Purchased for £105,000 after winning an Irish point and shaped encouragingly when placed first 2 starts over hurdles. Disappointing down in trip here last time but interesting now going chasing for an in-form new stable (previously trained…	B S Hughes	N G Richards	6	76.2 kg	2.10 11/10
—	2	—	Cosmic Blizzard (G) [PT] Stepped up on his return in pushing a less-exposed one close in 8-runner handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and respected from 3 lb higher.	D R Fox	L Russell & M Scudamore	6	73.9 kg	7 6/1
—	3	—	Orkney Blue (G) NON RUNNER.	Bruce Lynn	N W Alexander	7	73 kg	7.50 13/2
2nd	4	—	Blakey Boy (G) [P] Modest winning hurdler who had yet to make a move from mid-division when falling at the eleventh on his chasing debut at Kelso last month.	Craig Nichol	Ewan Whillans	5	71.2 kg	8 7/1
1st	5	—	Paddy O'Mahler (G) [P] Winning hurdler who has finished runner-up both starts in handicap chases, albeit no match for winner in 5-runner handicap at Wetherby (24.2f) latterly. Cheekpieces back on and good claims from same mark.	Danny McMenamin	J Parkinson & S Smith	7	70.8 kg	2.88 15/8
