Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
—	1	—	Zainy Champ (G) FAV [T] Comfortable winner of 18.5f course handicap in December but has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts. However, he's one to look out for now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles (stable has fine record with chasing debuta…	Rex Dingle	J Scott	7	76.2 kg	5 4/1
—	2	—	Saint Cyr De Pail (G) FAV [T1] Handled the atrocious conditions better than the rest when off the mark at the third attempt in this sphere over C&D in December but failed to progress bidding to defy a 7 lb rise in the weights when fourth of 7 at Wincanton since. First-t…	C Gethings	Mrs J Williams	7	75.7 kg	5 4/1
7th	3	—	Flash Gorcombe (G) C&D winner last season and has made the frame in 3 of 4 starts this campaign, probably racing a touch closer to the pace than ideal when third of 9 at Wincanton last month.	Harry Kimber	R Walford	9	73.9 kg	8.50 15/2
4th	4	—	Bertie Wooster (G) [T] Runner-up twice at Taunton this winter but now 0-10 in this sphere and the suspicion is he might be vulnerable for the win again. Drops back in trip.	Brendan Powell	J Tizzard	8	73.5 kg	7 6/1
8th	5	—	Limetree Boy (G) [B1] Best effort for some time when runner-up at Windsor on return to action on New Year's Day. Predictably not in the same mood at Huntingdon 3 weeks later and he's not one to trust.	R P McLernon	J & A O'Neill	10	73.5 kg	41 40/1
6th	6	—	Rangatira Jack (G) Gained his breakthrough success with a career best over C&D last April. Tends to take a run or 2 to get up to speed and whilst his latest C&D non-completion was disappointing, a better showing could be on the cards returned to a sounder su…	Sean Houlihan	Miss L Blackford	8	71.7 kg	6.50 11/2
5th	7	—	Storming Nelson (G) [T] More miss than hit in handicap hurdles but consequently slid in the weights and ran well despite a less-than-fluent round of jumping on his first start in a handicap chase when runner-up at Taunton last month. Laboured effort at Ffos Las s…	Lucy Gardner	Mrs S Gardner	7	69.9 kg	8.50 15/2
1st	8	—	Kingcormac (G) Hard to catch right but returned to form despite finishing a place worse than in the corresponding race in 2025 when third of 10 at Hereford last month.	Taylor Fisher	J Tickle	10	68.9 kg	12 11/1
3rd	9	—	Valirann Gold (G) [TP] Now 18 runs since his last win in 2024 and arrives here out of form.	G Sheehan	H Brown	9	66.2 kg	10 9/1
2nd	10	—	Wellwillya (G) Dual winner over fences last season, including at this venue. Rounded his campaign off with a good second at Fontwell last March and will probably need this judged on previous reappearance efforts.	Paul O'Brien	Mrs H R J Nelmes	8	66.2 kg	15 14/1
—	11	—	Brucie Bonus (G) [P] Has yet to achieve anything, his latest effort coming after a 20-month absence. Makes chase debut.	James Best	Miss Sarah Robinson	9	64.4 kg	251 250/1
