Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	—	Classic King (G) FAV [P1] Dual 19f hurdles/chase winner at Doncaster last term. Had been in good form this season but ran a tame race in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham 16 days ago. Reverts to fences now with cheekpieces added.	2/46402-	H Cobden	Miss E C Lavelle	8	76.2 kg	2.63 13/8
3rd	2	—	Lunar Discovery (M) Consistent sort who gained a deserved breakthrough success over fences in 19.5f handicap at Chepstow in December. That form has worked out really well and given her good record fresh she has strong claims.	453313	Charlie Price	R L Llewellyn	9	74.4 kg	3.75 11/4
—	3	—	Happy And Fine (G) [P] Ended a losing run at Warwick (3m) on New Year's Eve but he was pulled up in 23f handicap chase at Newbury last month. Not the easiest to predict nowadays.	F41UPU	Kielan Woods	A M Hales	9	73 kg	13 12/1
1st	4	—	Tapley (G) [T] Opened his chase account at Wincanton (2½m) in November and has continued in good nick, ridden aggressively when third of 6 in novice handicap at Kempton 14 days ago. 2 lb lower now and should be in the mix if he stays the new trip.	142313-	Isabelle Ryder	Miss S Smith	9	71.2 kg	3.50 5/2
4th	5	—	Kilbarry Hill (G) [P1T] A 3-time hurdles winner last season. Yet to score over fences but he wasn't disgraced when fifth of 8 in 25f handicap chase at Wincanton 23 days ago (rapid headway before 4 out then found little). Not out of things down 3 lb with cheekpiec…	5/53F54-	K Brogan	O Murphy	8	70.3 kg	10 9/1

Betting forecast: Classic King (13/8), Tapley (5/2), Lunar Discovery (11/4), Kilbarry Hill (9/1), Happy And Fine (12/1)
