Unexpected Party (G)
FAV
[T]
Winner of the 2024 Grand Annual at Cheltenham and runner-up in the same race in 2025. Has done well since switched to hunters, scoring at Taunton and Haydock prior to finishing fourth in the 24-runner Foxhunters' at Aintree where he report…

Arthur's Sixpence (G)
[T]
Won twice between the flags for Georgina Nicholls last year and performed well above market expectations when third in the 8-runner Newbury hunter won by Jeffery's Cross in March. Minor place money is a distinct possibility here.

Empire De Maulde (G)

Multiple point winner but yet to win a hunter and others make more appeal.

Fan De Blues (G)
[T]
Smart handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2022/23. Has shown he still retains a fair level of ability for his new yard and he's another with realistic place claims.

Hystery Bere (G)
Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner at his best and he was a creditable third of 10 in an Exeter handicap chase on final run for Tom Symonds. Winner of one of his 2 starts between the flags since but he's opposable now pitched into a hunter.
