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
3rd	1	—	Maxxum (G) [P1] Winner of 2025 Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle who turned in his best of the season when third in this year's renewal. First-time cheekpieces should have a positive effect, and he can be very competitive (despite giving weight away) if back to peak f…	Carl Millar	G Elliott	9	75.3 kg	5 4/1
1st	2	—	El Fabiolo (G) FAV Top-class chaser at best, though still capable of smart form over hurdles as he showed when successful at Punchestown on New Year's Eve, and this looks a good opportunity, having been flying too high in the Irish Champion Hurdle at this tr…	Paul Townend	W P Mullins	9	73 kg	1.29 2/7
2nd	3	—	Soir De Garde (G) [H] Half-brother to State Man who posted a couple of solid efforts in bumpers prior to winning readily on hurdle debut at Tramore in April, and though the apparent stable second string, he's very much open to improvement on return.	Danny Mullins	W P Mullins	8	73 kg	17 16/1
5th	4	—	Linden Arden (G) Has made excellent start for new yard, winning a pair of Punchestown handicaps and shaping though still in form when second at Fairyhouse 9 days ago, but this looks a tough ask at the weights.	Brian Hayes	D H Kelly	8	70.8 kg	17 16/1
4th	5	—	No Looking Back (G) [B1T] May have still needed the run at Punchestown in December but it's long time since he's shown anything like his best form and hard to be confident that more severe headgear will spark a revival.	Phillip Enright	O McKiernan	8	70.8 kg	51 50/1

Betting forecast: El Fabiolo (2/7), Maxxum (4/1), Soir De Garde (16/1), Linden Arden (16/1), No Looking Back (50/1)
