Runners

Pos No. Dr Horse Jockey Trainer Age Wgt Best decimal odds
— 1 — Jeriko Du Reponet (G) [P]
Smart winner of Punchestown listed handicap hurdle (in cheekpieces) last May, but he was let down by his jumping on handicap chase debut in the Kim Muir last month having been well backed after 3 eye-catching efforts and will need to defy …
 N de Boinville N J Henderson 7 76.2 kg 26
25/1
4th 2 — Supremely West (G)
Had excuses for all bar one of his runs following encouraging stable debut third behind Ma Shantou/Electric Mason and duly produced a career-best performance when a decisive winner of the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last time. Hard to dis…
 Harry Skelton D Skelton 8 74.8 kg 8
7/1
2nd 3 — Eagle Fang (G) [V1]
Useful sort has gone backwards from a successful chase bow at Thurles (well beaten both starts in January) and is likely to come up short on hurdles return, even if a first-time visor revives him.
Patrick M O'Brien W Durkan 6 74.4 kg 29
28/1
6th 4 — Harbour Lake (G)
Successful in C&D handicap last season and again in valuable handicap at Haydock last spring. Well held following a breathing operation at Cheltenham on New Year's Day but could be closer to form this time.
 Thomas Bellamy A King 10 73.9 kg 34
33/1
3rd 5 — Chart Topper (G)
Was in the process of running a cracker when falling in Pertemps Qualifier at Haydock on return, but headgear quickly shelved here, having disappointed with his finishing effort (in first-time cheekpieces) in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham.
 Brian Hayes W P Mullins 7 73 kg 26
25/1
8th 6 — Ace Of Spades (G)
Made a winning reappearance at this track and was still progressing when landing weak Huntingdon contest in January. Made no impression behind stablemate Supremely West in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham, though.
 Sam Twiston-Davies D Skelton 7 72.6 kg 26
25/1
14th 7 — Minella Rescue (G) [P1]
Well placed when second at 50/1 in the Grade 1 Sefton over C&D last year. Cheekpieces go on having been well beaten in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham last time.
 Ben Jones G Hanmer 8 71.2 kg 29
28/1
1st 8 — Wade Out (G) [B1]
Has found life tougher since winning first 2 starts over fences, finishing distant sixth in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. Looks the type to benefit from more severe headgear on hurdles return, for all he's unlikely to be good enou…
 G Sheehan O Murphy 7 70.8 kg 19
18/1
16th 9 — Absolutely Doyen (G)
Progressed again to make it 5-5 for Paul Nicholls in a fairly useful Musselburgh novice, and he's very much worth treating as if still in top form despite finishing eighth (beaten 7¾ lengths) behind Supremely West in the Pertemps Final. On…
 H Cobden P F Nicholls 6 70.8 kg 11
10/1
9th 10 — Push The Button (G)
Creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago for the Twiston-Davies stable (bought for £105,000 by new yard) but his jumping hasn't passed the test over fences recently following a promising start and he may be found wanting back hurdling.
 Rian Corcoran M Walford 7 70.8 kg 29
28/1
15th 11 — Kikijo (G)
Low-mileage 6-y-o confirmed himself an out-and-out stayer when landing second leg of a double at Sandown (solid form) but was found wanting for speed on good ground in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, and it's likely to be a similar story here.
Callum Pritchard P Hobbs & J White 6 70.8 kg 41
40/1
13th 12 — Ikarak (G) [P]
Dual winner this season and ran a cracker to finish third behind Supremely West at Cheltenham. Should give his running again, although Sean Bowen looks elsewhere.
K Brogan O Murphy 8 70.3 kg 34
33/1
— 13 — Good To Be Alive (G)
Lightly-raced 5-y-o progressed again when useful second at Kelso (21f) in late-February, and while this is a much deeper race, he looks sure to benefit from the step up in trip and should continue on the upgrade.
 Jack Kennedy O Murphy 5 69.9 kg 13
12/1
12th 14 — Duke Silver (G)
On the up when winning staying handicaps at Listowel and Leopardstown this season and though better than ever when 7½ lengths sixth behind Supremely West at Cheltenham (50/1), he may find a few too good again.
Hugh Horgan J P O'Brien 6 69.9 kg 19
18/1
17th 15 — Fortune Timmy (G)
Improving novice finished promising third in Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials Day and having lacked the speed to get involved in Grade 1 Baring Bingham (21f) there last time, makes appeal tackling 3m off a potentially lenient mark.
Tom Cannon C Gordon 6 69.4 kg 11
10/1
— 16 — Get On George (G)
Confirmed himself a useful hurdler when runner-up behind impressive winner in EBF Novices' Final at Sandown last month, and with stamina looking his strong suit, he's well worth another try over this sort of trip.
Jack Tudor J Parkinson & S Smith 6 69.4 kg 12
11/1
5th 17 — Hold The Serve (G) FAV
Successful sole start in points and has proved most progressive since undergoing breathing operation following debut flop, finding plenty to land a hat-trick on handicap debut at Kempton in February. Shapes as though 3m will bring out furt…
 S Bowen O Murphy 6 68.5 kg 4.33
10/3
— 18 — Bold Endeavour (G) [P]
Veteran has fallen a long way in the weights and gave his all when seventh in the Pertemps on second start since rejoining Nicky Henderson. Probably vulnerable to less-exposed types, though.
James Bowen N J Henderson 10 68.5 kg 23
22/1
10th 19 — Quantum Quest (G) [P]
Low-mileage stayer underlined his consistency when runner-up in Grade 3 novice at Cork in December, though faces no easy task off this mark on return to a handicap.
J J Slevin H De Bromhead 6 68 kg 19
18/1
— 20 — Idem (G)
Backed up his Musselburgh second when 7¼ lengths fifth in the Pertemps at Cheltenham last time (travelled well), though this tricky customer will probably need another strongly-run race to be competitive here.
P W Wadge L Russell & M Scudamore 8 67.6 kg 26
25/1
11th 21 — Kaka's Cousin (G)
£160,000 Irish pointer underlined a promising start over hurdles when fourth in EBF Novices' Final at Sandown on handicap bow. That performance can be marked up and he's very much unexposed tackling 3m for the first time.
Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill 6 67.6 kg 7.50
13/2
7th 22 — Lihyan (G) [H]
Strong-travelling sort was delivered late to land 6-runner handicap at Newbury last time, and while this is significantly more competitive, he could pick up some pieces if getting a well-run race.
 William Maggs R Menzies 8 67.6 kg 51
50/1
