Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	—	Iron Bridge (G) [P] Out-and-out stayer but winless since 2022 and hard to catch right, going close at Carlisle on return but running poorly in this headgear at Wincanton since.	Jonjo O'Neill Jr.	J & A O'Neill	10	76.2 kg	7 6/1
3rd	2	—	Maximilian (G) Smart novice hurdler in 2022/23. Very lightly raced since and not progressing over fences this season, respectable third of 6 at Kelso 3 weeks ago on handicap debut in this sphere. Up in trip.	B S Hughes	D McCain Jnr	10	74.8 kg	4.50 7/2
1st	3	—	Ki Woo (G) [PT] Won Bangor maiden/novice hurdles over 19.5f and 23f last spring. Left return/chase debut there well behind when good second at Doncaster in December but reportedly suffered a breathing problem following month. Seems best away from testing …	Craig Nichol	O Greenall & J Guerriero	6	68.9 kg	4 3/1
4th	4	—	Wal Buck's (G) FAV [V] Got off the mark in handicap chase here in December 2024 and first win since when making all at Kelso 3 weeks ago, looking better than ever in first-time headgear. Handicapper hasn't overreacted to that wide-margin success so remains of fi…	D R Fox	L Russell & M Scudamore	7	66.7 kg	2.50 6/4
—	5	—	Safe Destination (G) [P1] Readily landed conditional jockeys' handicap at Chepstow (26) in October. Decent second at Kempton later that month but not so good next 2 starts, beaten before trip was an issue at Fakenham in December. Headgear on.	Sam Twiston-Davies	N & W Twiston-Davies	8	64.4 kg	13 12/1
