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

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Champ Kiely (G) Very smart chaser who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 34 in Grand National at Aintree 18 days ago. This C&D scorer faces a very stiff task here.	Danny Mullins	W P Mullins	10	74.4 kg	34 33/1
2nd	2	—	Fact To File (G) Top-class chaser. Things didn't go to plan in the King George on Boxing Day but he put that right when landing the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown (3m) in February, beating Gaelic Warrior by 5 lengths. Major player.	Mark Walsh	W P Mullins	9	74.4 kg	2.63 13/8
1st	3	—	Gaelic Warrior (G) FAV [HT] Outstanding chaser who landed the John Durkan here on his return and enjoyed his finest hour when an emphatic victor in Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, strolling 8 lengths clear of Jango Baie. Big shout.	Paul Townend	W P Mullins	8	74.4 kg	1.83 5/6
3rd	4	—	Grangeclare West (G) High-class chaser. Landed the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse in February but unseated rider first in Grand National at Aintree since. This demands a clear personal best.	Brian Hayes	W P Mullins	10	74.4 kg	29 28/1
4th	5	—	Inothewayurthinkin (G) [PT] 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero. Very slow to find his form this term but easily his best run in first-time cheekpieces when 10 lengths third of 10 to Gaelic Warrior in Cheltenham Gold Cup at Cheltenham. Headgear is retained.	Keith Donoghue	G P Cromwell	8	74.4 kg	9 8/1

Betting forecast: Gaelic Warrior (5/6), Fact To File (13/8), Inothewayurthinkin (8/1), Grangeclare West (28/1), Champ Kiely (33/1)
