Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
2nd	1	—	Snipe (G) P Two hunter chase wins this year and also a creditable sixth in the Aintree Foxhunter last month. Well treated on old exploits if he can carry that good form back into handicaps.	16-2423	Harry Skelton D Skelton	9	76.2kg	6 5/1
3rd	2	—	Time To Bite (G) B Six chase wins since March 2025 include 2 over 21f here. Back to winning ways in veterans event at Fakenham (3m, good) 23 days ago but this slightly longer trip now isn't sure to play to his strength…	—	Bryan Carver C Honour	11	75.7kg	4.33 10/3
—	3	—	Blackjack Magic (G) BT Winner of the Badger Beers at Wincanton in 2023 but lightly raced and mainly below par since, coming in a well-held fourth of 5 in Carlisle veterans event (3m, good to soft) when last seen in March.	PPP/544-	Chad Bament A J Honeyball	11	74.8kg	11 10/1 Paddy… 9.50 Betfa… 9 Sky B… 9
—	4	—	Moroder (G) Pulled Up B Dual winner of the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster but is hard to catch right nowadays. Did stop the slide when second over 3½m at Taunton last time but no he's no good thing to back it up.	PP3P42-	James Best J W Mullins	12	73kg	10 9/1
1st	5	—	Rickety Bridge (G) FAV P Point winner/successful hurdler who looked a natural when making a winning start to his chase career over C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Was in command from some way out and a 3 lb nudge doesn't lo…	P/04-111	Freddie Gingell P F Nicholls	7	69.4kg	2.10 11/10

Betting forecast: Rickety Bridge (11/10), Time To Bite (10/3), Snipe (5/1), Moroder (9/1), Blackjack Magic (10/1)
