—	1	—	Zainy Champ (G) FAV Pulled Up T Comfortable winner of 18.5f course handicap in December but has failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts. However, he's one to look out for now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles (st…	P-P18F6	Rex Dingle J Scott	7	76.2kg	5 4/1
—	2	—	Saint Cyr De Pail (G) FAV Unseated Rider T Handled the atrocious conditions better than the rest when off the mark at the third attempt in this sphere over C&D in December but failed to progress bidding to defy a 7 lb rise in the weights when…	F414U3	C Gethings Mrs J Williams	7	75.7kg	5 4/1
7th	3	—	Flash Gorcombe (G) C&D winner last season and has made the frame in 3 of 4 starts this campaign, probably racing a touch closer to the pace than ideal when third of 9 at Wincanton last month.	58-4363	Harry Kimber R Walford	9	73.9kg	8.50 15/2
4th	4	—	Bertie Wooster (G) T Runner-up twice at Taunton this winter but now 0-10 in this sphere and the suspicion is he might be vulnerable for the win again. Drops back in trip.	P-37224	Brendan Powell J Tizzard	8	73.5kg	7 6/1
8th	5	—	Limetree Boy (G) B Best effort for some time when runner-up at Windsor on return to action on New Year's Day. Predictably not in the same mood at Huntingdon 3 weeks later and he's not one to trust.	873-268	R P McLernon J & A O'Neill	10	73.5kg	41 40/1
6th	6	—	Rangatira Jack (G) Gained his breakthrough success with a career best over C&D last April. Tends to take a run or 2 to get up to speed and whilst his latest C&D non-completion was disappointing, a better showing could …	6P67D-2	Sean Houlihan Miss L Blackford	8	71.7kg	6.50 11/2
5th	7	—	Storming Nelson (G) T More miss than hit in handicap hurdles but consequently slid in the weights and ran well despite a less-than-fluent round of jumping on his first start in a handicap chase when runner-up at Taunton l…	345235	Lucy Gardner Mrs S Gardner	7	69.9kg	8.50 15/2
1st	8	—	Kingcormac (G) Hard to catch right but returned to form despite finishing a place worse than in the corresponding race in 2025 when third of 10 at Hereford last month.	5-17311	Taylor Fisher J Tickle	10	68.9kg	12 11/1
3rd	9	—	Valirann Gold (G) TP Now 18 runs since his last win in 2024 and arrives here out of form.	P34142-	G Sheehan H Brown	9	66.2kg	10 9/1
2nd	10	—	Wellwillya (G) Dual winner over fences last season, including at this venue. Rounded his campaign off with a good second at Fontwell last March and will probably need this judged on previous reappearance efforts.	4P12/2-4	Paul O'Brien Mrs H R J Nelmes	8	66.2kg	15 14/1
—	11	—	Brucie Bonus (G) Pulled Up P Has yet to achieve anything, his latest effort coming after a 20-month absence. Makes chase debut.	P986/P-P	James Best Miss Sarah Robinson	9	64.4kg	251 250/1
