—	1	—	Ike Sport (G) HT Likeable handicapper. Chased home Wellington Arch at Aintree (2½m) prior to deservedly ending a 2-year losing sequence over the same C&D in May. Well beaten in the Silver Trophy for the second consec…	6692-1P	Harry Atkins N P Mulholland	8	76.2kg	17 16/1 Betfa… 17 Paddy… 17 Sky B… 17
—	2	—	Stream Of Stars (G) Proved at least as good as ever last season. Won at Bangor prior to finishing runner-up in stronger events here and at Aintree. Looked to retain all his ability when 7¾-length third in a seniors hand…	13226-3	Toby McCain-Mitchell N & W Twiston-Davies	11	73.5kg	11 10/1 Sky B… 13 Betfa… 13 Paddy… 13
—	3	—	Tonaghneave Well (G) Borderline useful hurdler for Gavin Cromwell. Well below that level over fences and failed to revive for the return to hurdles on first run for current stable at Fontwell (19f, 150/1) 12 days ago.	9-893P6	Adam Wedge J & S Best	6	73.5kg	67 66/1 Sky B… 41 Betfa… 41 Paddy… 41
—	4	—	Kocktail Bleu (G) Strong-looking front runner. Finished second in the Dovecote prior to going one better in a Newbury novice in March. Plenty of encouragement when hitting the frame in big-field handicaps since, latte…	22214-4	Tom Cannon C Gordon	6	73kg	8 7/1 Betfa… 3.25 Paddy… 3.25 Sky B… 3.25
—	5	—	Nardaran (G) PT Made a winning return here (2m) prior to landing in a small-field event at Sandown last November. Belatedly matched that form (without looking entirely straightforward) when close third at Wincanton …	1P663-6	Sam Twiston-Davies P F Nicholls	5	72.1kg	15 14/1 Paddy… 6.50 Betfa… 6.50 Sky B… 6.50
—	6	—	Range (G) Back to form when gamely winning a senior handicap at Sandown in January. Possibly still feeling those exertions when lit up in first-time cheekpieces at Ascot. Prominent in the betting previous 2 se…	32/F41P-	Dylan Johnston S Thomas	9	72.1kg	17 16/1 Sky B… 13 Paddy… 13 Betfa… 12
—	7	—	Goodwin (G) V Quirky sort who can need plenty of coaxing. Enhanced fine record here (form figures of 21113) with a brace of C&D wins last season. Weak in the market/needed the run in a conditional jockeys handicap…	0481-35	Fern O'Brien C Gordon	8	70.8kg	26 25/1 Sky B… 12 Betfa… 12 Paddy… 12
—	8	—	Maldini Milano (G) P Fairly useful bumper winner. Successful on 2 of his 4 hurdle starts last season, notching a second C&D success in a novice handicap (under this claimer) in April. Needs more again if he's to maintain…	2/2F161-	Paddy Hanlon P F Nicholls	6	70.8kg	5.50 9/2 Sky B… 5.50 Betfa… 5 Paddy… 5
—	9	—	Walk On High (G) HT Smooth traveller. Fairly useful effort to complete a hat-trick on handicap bow/reappearance in 2025 renewal of this race (now 3 lb higher). Perhaps not the easiest to keep sound, his below-par chasin…	21/115P-	Bryan Carver H Fry	9	70.8kg	13 12/1 Betfa… 11 Paddy… 11 Sky B… 11
—	10	—	Bandjo (G) Fairly useful hurdler in France prior to finishing mid-field in the Fred Winter on stable debut. Matched his French form when beaten 4 lengths in a muddling juvenile hurdle before well held at Auteui…	2F605-8	Lorcan Murtagh G Nicholls	4	68.9kg	17 16/1 Betfa… 23 Paddy… 23 Sky B… 23
—	11	—	Scorsese (G) V Winner of his last 2 hurdle starts over this trip in spring 2025. Advanced his form with some bold-jumping displays over fences last season. Reverts to hurdling (off 5 lb lower mark) in a change of h…	21335-P	R P McLernon N P Mulholland	8	68kg	15 14/1 Sky B… 23 Betfa… 23 Paddy… 23
—	12	—	Sixty Plus (G) Won 4 summer handicap hurdles on the bounce in 2025. Another fruitful spell when completing a quick-fire Flat hat-trick in July of this year. Jumped much better under an attacking ride when runner-up…	696P-32	Rian Corcoran James Owen	6	67.6kg	8 7/1 Paddy… 17 Betfa… 17 Sky B… 17
—	13	—	Let Him B (G) T Irish raider from shrewd stable. Doubled his tally when a wide-margin winner of a big-field Cork handicap last time.
