| 1 |  | 3X5449 | Ultimate Counsel | 1 | Ft | Carter Dalgety(J) | Outfinished after racing wide at Oam. Tidy runs prior in campaign; 1st4 fringes. |
| 2 | | 8P8290 | Archie | 2 | Ft | ||
| 3 |  | 823521 | Edict | 3 | Ft | Robbie Close | Deserved his Add success after strong build-up. Clear hope off his close alley. |
| 4 | | 2521 | She's A Lady | 4 | Ft | John Morrison | Dealt to rivals impressively last week and more in store for her. Rates highly. |
| 5 |  | 946100 | Rockin Roman | 5 | Ft | ||
| 6 | | 583063 | Vermeer Lustre | 6 | Ft | Gerard O'Reilly | Tried hard at Tim when securing 3rd. Nice record here and can't be discounted. |
| 7 |  | 9661X0 | My Skatjie | 7 | Ft | Sarah O'Reilly | Never close after slow beginning first-up last week. Happy taking notes again. |
| 8 | | 61PX48 | Elektra King | 1 | 15 | Tim Williams | Two decent attempts since resuming and looking for her 9th cheque today. Cover. |
| 9 |  | 0X3283 | Nasana | 2 | 15 | Blair Orange | Fashioning a handy record and if she can get handy early looks a live prospect. |
| 10 | | X079X5 | Lonnekers | 3 | 15 | Ross Cameron | Useful resumption last week and natural improvement can put him in the mix. |
| 11 | | 333418 | Enya Franco | 4 | 15 | Olivia Thornley | Yet to fire on the grass and today is her first look at Mt Harding. 1st4 fringe. |
| 12 | | 24X817 | Festus Haggen | 5 | 15 | Leo O'Reilly | Sharp Tim success and didn't get all favours last week. Generally thereabouts. |
| 13 | | 421634 | Super Fund | 6 | 15 | Wilson House(J) | Raced well on the Palmy circuit earlier in Nov but grass placing has eluded him. |
| 14 | | 007759 | Warloch | 7 | 15 | Samantha Ottley | Hardy old campaign who was luckless at Add, 22 Oct. Thin record on grass; risk. |
| 15 | | 005961 | Hi Hopes | 8 | 15 | John Dunn | Dashed past to score easily last week. Will require similar up in grass; combos. |
| 16 | | 063210 | Star On The Rocks | 9 | 15 | Sam Thornley(J) | Contained at Add following easy win in the Ash slush. No form here; stretched. |
| 17 |  | 116539 | Lavra Rose | 10 | 15 | Kimberly Butt | Unable to replicate bold Tim run on Show Day but solid all-the-same. Winner here |
| 18 |  | 615482 | Carlin | 11 | 15 | Sheree Tomlinson | Just denied last week after storming home. Longer trip helps and major player. |
| 19 | | 924231 | Impressive Shard | U1 | 15 | Matthew Williamson | Earned his Mot win after several game placings. This is a tougher ask; multiples |
