Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
4th	1	—	Knappers Hill (G) Smart performer but off since winning a Grade 2 novice chase at Wincanton in November 2023. Paul Nicholls has a strong record in this race but understandable were this one to lack match sharpness.	Freddie Gingell	P F Nicholls	9	74.8 kg	19 18/1
1st	2	—	The Jukebox Man (G) FAV Smart novice hurdler who quickly made up into an even better chaser at the end of 2024, winning Newbury Grade 2 and Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton. Missed the rest of the campaign due to injury but remains a very exciting prospect.	Ben Jones	B Pauling	7	74.8 kg	1.73 8/11
5th	3	—	Butch (G) Useful hurdler who made a successful chase debut at Leicester (2½m, soft) last Christmas. Matched that form when third of 4 in Carlisle novice 7 weeks later. Returns as an unexposed sort who can go on to better things this season but this …	S Bowen	O Murphy	8	73.5 kg	9 8/1
2nd	4	—	Iroko (G) [T] Handicap hurdle winner at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival and has developed into a very smart chaser, ending last season with a fine fourth of 34 in the Grand National at Aintree. Second in this race on last year's reappearance. Has had wind …	Jonjo O'Neill Jr.	O Greenall & J Guerriero	7	73.5 kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	5	—	Mr Hope Street (G) Progressive over timber last term. Never dangerous but not knocked about when sixth of 12 in Carlisle novice handicap on chase debut/reappearance 3 weeks ago. Will improve but faces a stiff task on these terms.	Harry Skelton	D Skelton	7	69.9 kg	15 14/1
