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
2nd	1	—	Roi Mage (G) [P1] Won this in 2022. A success in France in the autumn shows he's still useful at this late stage of his career but he was pulled up at Aintree when last seen in December. Stiff task on these terms.	Harry Sexton	P Griffin	14	74.4 kg	13 12/1
3rd	2	—	Nick Rockett (G) Most progressive staying chaser last season, winning Thyestes and Bobbyjo before seeing off stablemate I Am Maximus in the Grand National at Aintree. Presumably using this as a warm up for a return to Aintree but could still go well.	Mr P W Mullins	W P Mullins	9	73 kg	2.63 13/8
1st	3	—	Gerri Colombe (G) FAV [P] High-class chaser and course winner. 8/1, 5½ lengths second of 9 to Grangeclare West in Bobbyjo Chase at Fairyhouse 24 days ago, clear of rest. The one to beat.	Jack Kennedy	G Elliott	10	69.9 kg	1.62 8/13
—	4	—	Perceval Legallois (G) [T] Smart chaser. 31 lengths fourth of 7 to Heart Wood in New Year's Day Chase at Tramore (23f, soft, 20/1) 75 days ago, finishing with running left. Tongue strap back on.	Conor Stone-Walsh	G P Cromwell	9	69.9 kg	6.50 11/2
4th	5	—	The Gradual Slope (G) [P] Below par since Thurles handicap third in December and out of his depth here.	Mark McDonagh	S O O'Brien	9	69.9 kg	67 66/1

Betting forecast: Gerri Colombe (8/13), Nick Rockett (13/8), Perceval Legallois (11/2), Roi Mage (12/1), The Gradual Slope (66/1)
