9th	1	—	Hewick (G) B High-class chaser (winner of the 2023 King George at Kempton) and no slouch in this sphere either but evidence this season suggests his best days are behind him.	1457P9-	Paddy Hanlon J J Hanlon	11	76.2kg	26 25/1
6th	2	—	Karl Des Tourelles (G) Thirteen runs since his last win in 2024 but he ran a cracker back hurdling when sixth of 24 in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (2½m) last month. Solid operator who deserves to land one of these.	4-64646	Brian Hayes P Fenton	6	71.7kg	7.50 13/2
—	3	—	Da Capo Glory (G) Unseated Rider P Course winner. 80/1, creditable eighth of 24 in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (2½m) 48 days ago. Good conditional booked and another bold show is likely.	338U-22	Michael Kenneally Padraig Butler	9	69.4kg	15 14/1
11th	4	—	Minella Sixo (G) V On a losing run but comes here in good nick, eleventh of 24 in Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) 49 days ago.	0-97620	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	7	69.4kg	17 16/1
2nd	5	—	The Big Clubman (G) P Debut Wexford maiden winner. Useful form after and found drop back in trip against him when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Newbury (21f) in February. Cheekpieces go on for handicap hurdle debut and …	F/2-1252	Sean O'Keeffe P Nolan	6	69.4kg	17 16/1
22th	6	—	Champagne Chic (G) P A dual 3m winner at Wincanton and Haydock this year. Lost ground at start when a good twelfth of 24 in Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) last time. Remains open to improvement and possibly the most i…	0-62110	Lorcan Williams J Scott	6	68.5kg	15 14/1
3rd	7	—	Duke Silver (G) Back to winning ways at Leopardstown in December and comes here in good nick, challenging wide when twelfth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (25f, good to soft) 19 days ago.	17603-U	Hugh Horgan J P O'Brien	6	68.5kg	15 14/1
10th	8	—	Grann's Boy (G) P Latest win in hurdle at Listowel in September. Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for 1st time.	01260-9	Darragh O'Keeffe H Rogers	6	68.5kg	23 22/1
—	9	—	Onewaywest (G) Pulled Up Scored at Warwick and Wetherby in November and not disgraced when fourteenth of 24 in Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m) 49 days ago.	2-11F20	Ben Jones B Pauling	7	68kg	21 20/1
15th	10	—	Daydream Nation (G) P Lightly-raced sort who bagged 10-runner handicap at Leopardstown (3m) in March. Very good third of 20 in handicap at Fairyhouse (3m) 26 days ago. Not out of things with cheekpieces added.	1-13513	Ben Harvey William Harvey	6	67.6kg	12 11/1
19th	11	—	Ballybow (G) B Fairly useful hurdler at up to 3m but not yet at that level over fences this season. More is needed back in this sphere.	554940/	Danny Gilligan G Elliott	7	67.1kg	41 40/1
18th	12	—	Ballystone (G) Career best when winning 3m handicap hurdle at Galway 9 months ago. This is no easy comeback run, though.	084/410-	Alex Harvey J C McConnell	8	67.1kg	51 50/1
16th	13	—	Ballykinlar (G) T A 3-time winner last summer for Donncha Duggan and has started well for new yard, seventh of 22 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (2½m) 20 days ago.	432070-	Shane Fenelon M Bowen	7	66.7kg	17 16/1
21th	14	—	Fillyoureye (G) C&D winner in February but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (3m) 26 days ago. Too free there and is worth another chance with few miles on the clock.	31P0-U4	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	6	66.2kg	10 9/1
—	15	—	One Big Boum (G) B Scored at Navan and Fairyhouse this winter and not discredited off an 11 lb higher mark when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wexford (2m) 44 days ago. Steps up in trip now.	7P5115	Niall Moore P Fenton	7	66.2kg	26 25/1

12th	17	—	Margaret's Legacy (G) Reluctant individual who came in a below-form twelfth of 22 in Ultima at Cheltenham (25f) 51 days ago. Has a rare run over hurdles (first go in a handicap) here.	11-2460	Harry Bannister W Greatrex	9	65.8kg	34 33/1
5th	18	—	Seaniecon (G) P Lightly-raced sort who bagged maiden hurdle at Hereford in February. Good fifth of 12 in Sefton Hurdle at Aintree (3m) last time and may do better still now handicapping with cheekpieces added.	212125	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	5	65.8kg	8.50 15/2
—	19	—	Buachaillbocht (G) BT Got back on track (in a change of headgear) reverted to hurdles when third of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (21f) 24 days ago. Usual blinkers go back on now.	1-360P3	Mark Walsh T M Walsh	8	65.3kg	9 8/1

20th	21	—	Icare Desbois (G) BT Blinkered for 1st time when a below-par third of 5 in conditions hurdle at Clonmel (17f) in January. Significantly up in trip (not bred to stay) with work to do if he's to end a long losing run.	95030/8	Cian Quirke D H Kelly	8	64.9kg	126 125/1
8th	22	—	Sign From Above (G) P Last of 10 in Flat handicap at Dundalk (2m) 78 days ago. Switches to hurdles with lots more required.	5734-06	Sam Ewing Peter Fahey	8	64.9kg	67 66/1
14th	23	—	The Lovely Man (G) T Gained a third win (including in this sphere) from his last 4 starts in 15-runner handicap chase at Naas (25f) 53 days ago. Back over hurdles and potentially well treated but probably needs more of a…	P-31161	Conor Stone-Walsh G P Cromwell	7	64.9kg	10 9/1
7th	24	—	Billy Lee Swagger (G) B Out of sorts over hurdles and pulled up in novice chase at Downpatrick (19f) on debut over fences 32 days ago. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces.	1P0P7/1	Shane O'Callaghan P J Rothwell	7	63.5kg	21 20/1
13th	25	—	Bridie's Beau (G) T Course winner but (tongue tied) pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (3m) 40 days ago. Hard to warm to.	120P0-P	Patrick M O'Brien G P Cromwell	7	63.5kg	67 66/1
17th	26	—	Chance Another One (G) T Scored 3 times across both codes last season. Back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Aintree (25f) 19 days ago. Not discounted back over hurdles. RESERVE	914004	Daniel King E Mullins	7	63.5kg	13 12/1
