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	—	Sonigino (G) [T] Useful 6-time hurdler who has come to chasing quite late in the day but took well to it with an easy win in novice at Fakenham (21f, good to firm) last month. Open to progress and the one to beat.	Freddie Gingell	P F Nicholls	9	74.4 kg	4 3/1
2nd	2	—	Rubber Ball (G) FAV [P1] Won a 2m Newbury handicap hurdle in February. Has struggled in big-field races at Sandown and Aintree since but faces a less competitive scenario on chase debut with cheekpieces also added. Point winner at the start of his career and appea…	J M Quinlan	N B King	6	72.1 kg	3.75 11/4
—	3	—	Crackerjacque (G) [T] Bumper winner who won twice over hurdles last season. Creditable second of 6 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (19f, heavy) 69 days ago. Not always the most fluent of jumpers over hurdles but perhaps he'll give the larger obstacles more respect…	Sam Twiston-Davies	A J Honeyball	6	70.3 kg	4.50 7/2
1st	4	—	Kingston Narcissus (G) [T] Returned to winning ways in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but below form both outings since. Needs a switch to fences to help spark a revival.	Charlie Maggs	R Menzies	7	66.7 kg	9.50 17/2
4th	5	—	Moonshine Man (G) FAV [T] Hereford hurdle winner last May and placed on 3 of his 5 starts since switched to the larger obstacles, including when third at Kempton (3m, soft) in February. Has to race from out of the handicap on this first outing for 3 months.	Brendan Powell	Miss H C Knight	7	65.8 kg	3.75 11/4

Betting forecast: Rubber Ball (11/4), Moonshine Man (11/4), Sonigino (3/1), Crackerjacque (7/2), Kingston Narcissus (17/2)
