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
—	1	—	Arnie Moon (G) Much improved to make a winning handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good to soft) 13 days ago, forging clear. Likely to go well again.	Callum Pritchard	J Tickle	6	74.8 kg	2.75 7/4
2nd	2	—	Blacksamssenorita (M) [B1] C&D maiden winner last March. Switched to fences to make a winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) on reappearance in November but has disappointed on both outings since (remote last of 3 latterly). Needs a combination of first-tim…	Freddie Gingell	J Tizzard	7	73.9 kg	7 6/1
1st	3	—	Western Cross (G) FAV [H] Runner-up on first of 2 outings in bumpers and fair form over hurdles, including fourth on C&D handicap debut with a hood added (retained) 32 days ago. An unexposed profile provides hope that he can build on that.	Sean Houlihan	P Hobbs & J White	5	73 kg	2 1/1
3rd	4	—	Son Of Hypnos (G) Versatile performer in Ireland for Kevin Michael Smith but pulled up in 21.5f course handicap on last month's first outing for a new yard. Now drops back in trip with the cheekpieces he wore on that occasion discarded.	Mr Jack Stenhouse	R Chapman	9	72.6 kg	34 33/1
4th	5	—	Circle Of Secrets (G) Fourth in a pair of juvenile hurdles for Emmet Mullins in Ireland at the end of 2025 but well beaten in a Taunton maiden on his first outing for Fergal O'Brien. Still early days but his opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous.	Liam Harrison	F O'Brien	4	70.8 kg	13 12/1

Betting forecast: Western Cross (1/1), Arnie Moon (7/4), Blacksamssenorita (6/1), Circle Of Secrets (12/1), Son Of Hypnos (33/1)
