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	—	Astley (G) Modest hurdler who needs to improve plenty for the switch to fences to be a factor here.	Alex Harvey	Paul Traynor	6	75.3 kg	17 16/1
4th	2	—	Ballybow (G) [B] Fairly useful hurdler at up to 3m but not yet at that level over fences. Below-form ninth of 15 in handicap chase at Naas (25f) and bounce back required.	Jack Kennedy	G Elliott	7	75.3 kg	4.20 16/5
2nd	3	—	Meet And Greet (G) Useful hurdler but it's yet to happen for him over fences, eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (21f) in January, going in snatches. This is an easier assignment, though.	Phillip Enright	O McKiernan	10	75.3 kg	3.25 9/4
1st	4	—	Sandor Clegane (G) FAV [PT] Talented but quirky individual. Creditable tenth of 23 in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in first-time cheekpieces 31 days ago, carrying head awkwardly. Tongue strap back on. Will take some stopping at this level.	Eoin Staples	P Nolan	9	75.3 kg	2.10 11/10
—	5	—	Villagers Cross (G) Poor hurdler so right up against this on chase debut back up in trip.	Jack Gilligan	P J Gilligan	6	75.3 kg	67 66/1
5th	6	—	Written In My Soul (M) Limited hurdler who now goes chasing.	Jordan Gainford	E D Delany	6	72.1 kg	26 25/1

Betting forecast: Sandor Clegane (11/10), Meet And Greet (9/4), Ballybow (16/5), Astley (16/1), Written In My Soul (25/1), Villagers Cross (66/1)
