Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Jockey	Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Sixmilebridge (G) [T] Useful hurdler last season and looked a smart recruit to chasing when making a successful start over the larger obstacles in 20.5f Ayr novice last month.	Kielan Woods	F O'Brien	6	73.9 kg	3 2/1
2nd	2	—	Califet En Vol (G) FAV Dual winner as a novice over hurdles, including 6-runner listed contest at Huntingdon (19.6f) in February and signed off with a respectable midfield effort in Aintree Grade 1 in the spring (did too much too soon). Second in a point at the …	N de Boinville	N J Henderson	6	71.7 kg	2.25 5/4
3rd	3	—	Royal Infantry (G) [T1] Useful hurdler, reaching the frame in competitive handicaps at Chepstow (19.5f, good to firm) and this venue (21f, soft) in recent months. A point background suggests he should take to fences. Tongue tied first time.	Harry Skelton	D Skelton	6	71.7 kg	3.25 9/4
—	4	—	Tintintin (G) [T] Course hurdle winner but badly let down by his jumping when pulled up on Lingfield chase debut last month. Sixmilebridge look very much the yard's number one here.	Jack Hogan	F O'Brien	6	71.7 kg	34 33/1

Betting forecast: Califet En Vol (5/4), Sixmilebridge (2/1), Royal Infantry (9/4), Tintintin (33/1)
