2m 2m 2m 2m1f 2m	1	Castle Ivers (IRE) Has a long absence to overcome and a hefty weight for his handicap debut	5 G	Elite	Sean Bowen	Olly Murphy	168	120	6/1 Open: 6/1
1m7f 2m5½f 3m 2m1f 2m5f	2	The Gray Ghost (IRE) In form but does look vulnerable off this high a mark in this strong a race	6 G	AVG	Callum Pritchard(3)	Robbie Llewellyn	168	120	10/1 Open: 10/1
2m1f 2m1f 2m 2m 2m½f	3	Bibe Mus (FR) Debut winner for this yard and his Fred Winter run was better that it looks on paper	3 G	AVG	Harry Cobden	Paul Nicholls	167	127	6/1 Open: 6/1
2m 2m½f 2m 1m7½f 2m2f	4	Caballo De Guerra (IRE) Raced too freely in a Grade 2 last time; the ability is there should the hood help	4 G	AVG	Jack Power(5)	Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	166	118	22/1 Open: 22/1
2m 2m 2m 1m7½f 1m7½f	5	Magna Victor (GB) Up 8lb for winning a weaker race last time but he does seem on an upward curve	6 G	Good	Ciaran Gethings	Alastair Ralph	165	117	9/2 Open: 9/2
1m7½f 2m3½f 1m7½f 2m 2m	6	Bertie's Ballet (GB) Below par in two of his three races this season but he's on his last winning mark	6 G	AVG	Ryan Mania	Dianne Sayer	165	117	18/1 Open: 18/1
1m 1m3f 2m 2m½f 1m7½f	7	Secret Force (IRE) Highly tried since winning his 3yo hurdle; new headgear for this handicap debut	2 C	AVG	Keith Donoghue	Gavin Cromwell	164	124	11/4 Open: 11/4
2m3½f 2m3½f 2m3½f 2m4f 2m	8	Newtown Rambler (IRE) Made all at Warwick; it's tougher dominating around here and he's 6lb higher	6 G	AVG	Danny McMenamin	Adrian Paul Keatley	164	116	8/1 Open: 8/1
2m 2m 2m 2m 2m	9	Triple Crown Ted (IRE) Confidently ridden when second here last time; looks capable of better again	5 G	AVG	Derek Fox	Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	162	114	9/1 Open: 9/1

2m½f 2m 2m4½f 2m½f 2m	13	Dance Thief (IRE) Over fences for his last three races and has been good and bad; others preferred	6 G	AVG	Richie McLernon	R Mike Smith	153	105	28/1 Open: 28/1
2m 2m 2m1f 2m4f 2m4f	14	Tuppence (FR) Dropping back to 2m could work but this still commands a career best and by some way	4 F	Poor	Mr Lucas Murphy(7)	Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	146	98	28/1 Open: 28/1
2m½f 1m7½f 1m7½f 2m 2m1f	15	Belaya River (FR) Returning to slower ground may help but unlikely that he's on that great a mark	3 G	Poor	Paul O'Brien	Harry Derham	145	105	22/1 Open: 22/1
