Sporting Life forecast prices — published the night before the race. Top 3 highlighted as market favourites.

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Mumford's Magic (G) Posted career best, back from 14-month absence, when good second of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) 36 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and he is entitled to build on that.	8/27-217	Tristan Durrell	D Skelton	8	75.3 kg	3.75 11/4
—	2	—	Kalhandrion (G) FAV [T] Improved for the switch to chasing this term, scoring on debut at Huntingdon (19.9f) before creditable placed efforts at Uttoxeter and in C&D handicap (soft) 13 days ago. Likely contender.	8-132U1	Charlie Maggs	R Hobson	6	74.4 kg	2.38 11/8
2nd	3	—	Kadjar Des Mottes (G) Point winner who has posted fair form under Rules, including when fourth in Musselburgh handicap (20.3f, good to soft) in December. May benefit from this longer trip.	4F42U6-	Theo Gillard	D McCain Jnr	6	73.5 kg	5 4/1
4th	4	—	Flemenstide (G) Made a successful hurdles debut in Ascot novice (21.5f) in November 2021. Very lightly raced since for Paul Nicholls and make his yard/chasing bow here with plenty to prove after nearly 3 years off.	2P7/4P6	Callum Bewley	T Faulkner	11	73 kg	15 14/1
3rd	5	—	Halpha Soleil (G) [P] Bumper/hurdles winner but yet to score over fences and arrives out of sorts. Had wind operation. Hard to fancy.	857535-	B S Hughes	Micky Hammond	9	70.8 kg	7 6/1

Betting forecast: Kalhandrion (11/8), Mumford's Magic (11/4), Kadjar Des Mottes (4/1), Halpha Soleil (6/1), Flemenstide (14/1)
