5th	1	—	Haddex Des Obeaux (G) Progressive over fences in 2022/23 for Gary Moore and absent for almost 2 years prior to a no-show on debut for new yard (pulled up) in a Cheltenham Grade 2 in November. Subsequent fourth in a Wether…	11F3/P4	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	9	76.2kg	17 16/1
7th	2	—	Gunsight Ridge (G) TP Third in 2022 renewal of this and went two places better when landing last year's running off this mark. Overall Sandown form figures read 1321 and while he hasn't been at his best so far this season…	4/4476-3	S Bowen O Murphy	11	74.8kg	7 6/1
—	3	—	Martator (G) Unseated Rider P Form tailed off after back-to-back Ascot handicap victories last November. Returned to form when runner-up back at that Berkshire venue on penultimate start but, solid though that effort was, it's bo…	08-529U	Charlie Deutsch Miss V Williams	9	73.9kg	23 22/1
1st	4	—	Jax Junior (G) Winner of 3 of his 5 hurdles starts following a wind op last term and has undergone another since his latest fourth in a Grade 2 novice chase at Ascot (reportedly bled). Looked promising when scoring…	214114	Tom Cannon L Wadham	7	73.5kg	5.50 9/2
—	5	—	Escapeandevade (G) FAV Pulled Up P Generally below par for James Ewart last term but mark eased as a result and firmly back on track for new yard this season, scoring at Haydock last month and runner-up on each of his additional 3 sta…	2212P2	H Cobden Harry Derham	10	70.8kg	4.50 7/2
2nd	6	—	Classic Maestro (G) P Fine strike rate over hurdles (5-10) and notched second success in this sphere when making all in a small-field Leicester handicap last February. However, he didn't get very far on his reappearance a…	U62P31-	Luke Scott J Candlish	8	69.4kg	23 22/1
—	7	—	Kotmask (G) Fell B Jumping sometimes lets him down but he's clearly got an engine, as he again demonstrated when landing a competitive Ascot handicap off 1 lb higher last term. Chased home a progressive novice in first…	552F23	Caoilin Quinn G & J Moore	8	68.9kg	6.50 11/2
4th	8	—	Denemethy (G) T Scored over fences at Market Rasen on Boxing Day 2024 and has largely performed with credit since, albeit without really progressing. Will need to better anything that he's previously achieved under …	22-4243	J J Burke F O'Brien	8	66.2kg	11 10/1
3rd	9	—	Dr T J Eckleburg (G) P Won twice last term and was beaten just ½-length by Gunsight Ridge in this race 12 months ago (meets that rival on 4 lb better terms this time round). Below par initially this season but more like it…	763330-	Conor Ring Evan Williams	8	64.9kg	8 7/1
—	10	—	Rath Gaul Hill (G) Pulled Up TP Completed hat-trick when making a belated winning return at Newbury last February. Well held back from another break there in November and while he stepped up on that when third of 6 in first-time ch…	16-83P4	Sam Twiston-Davies S Drinkwater	8	64.4kg	10 9/1
6th	11	—	Hypotenus (G) Reliable sort who gained a deserved breakthrough success over fences in 5-runner handicap chase at Taunton earlier this month. Had the run of the race that day, though, and wasn't able to repeat the …	3633-34	Taylor Fisher J Tickle	7	64.4kg	21 20/1
