Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	—	Appreciate It (G) FAV T Very smart chaser who won this race last year. 10/3, creditable 4¾ lengths second of 6 in listed chase at this course (22f, good to soft) on return 52 days ago. Bold bid expected.	351B2/2	Paul Townend W P Mullins	12	73.5kg	2 1/1
5th	2	—	Hercule Du Seuil (G) HT Smart chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 33/1, shaped as if out of sorts when pulled up in Paddy's Rewards Club Chase at Leopardstown (17f, good) 22 days ago.	3P5450-	Simon Torrens W P Mullins	9	72.6kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	3	—	Gentleman De Mee (G) T Smart chaser. Course winner. Winner of the Topham at Aintree last season and that's likely the target again judged on both his efforts this term.	14463-4/	Mark Walsh W P Mullins	10	71.2kg	12 11/1
2nd	4	—	James Du Berlais (G) T Produced a career best to land a 2½m handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April before out of his depth in Grade 1 there on return. Fared a lot better at Ascot since and not taken lightly.	551/63-2	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	10	71.2kg	3.25 9/4
4th	5	—	Monbeg Park (G) BT Smart chaser. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourteenth of 28 in handicap chase (28/1) at Leopardstown (24.4f, good) 22 days ago, trip too far. Bit to find in this company.	424049	Jordan Gainford Jack Foley	9	71.2kg	13 12/1

Betting forecast: Appreciate It (1/1), James Du Berlais (9/4), Hercule Du Seuil (11/2), Gentleman De Mee (11/1), Monbeg Park (12/1)
