Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
4th	1	—	Milldam (G) T No obvious excuse when pulled up in William Hill Hurdle at Newbury last month, and while he's 1-1 over C&D (won this in 2024) and dropping in class, drying ground probably isn't in his favour.	965P42-	G Sheehan Jamie Snowden	8	76.2kg	9 8/1
1st	2	—	Let It Rain (M) FAV Winner of three of her 6 starts and shaped like a very well-handicapped horse when third at Ascot in December following 13 months off. Found a slog in the William Hill Hurdle too much last time but b…	11/21-3P	Harry Skelton D Skelton	7	75.7kg	3.50 5/2
3rd	3	—	Mr Mcloughlan (G) Returns from a creditable Flat debut having won three times over hurdles this season, including over C&D, though he was found out in this sort of company on latest hurdle start.	181736-	Sam Twiston-Davies Jack Jones	6	75.3kg	17 16/1
7th	4	—	Anyharminasking (G) On a workable mark on return to hurdles having scored off 2 lb higher at Newcastle last season, though he isn't the easiest to win with, promising more than he delivered over fences at Haydock last t…	2P2676-	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	9	74.8kg	26 25/1
—	5	—	Here Comes Georgie (G) TP Ran respectably when third in 2m chase at Carlisle last month but well beaten in 3-runner affair over further at Sandown on Saturday. Cheekpieces back on returning to hurdles.	362633	Non Runner Dylan Cunha	8	74.4kg	17 16/1
10th	6	—	Adonedeal (G) Irish point winner who impressed on hurdle debut at Southwell in November but was made to work hard (1/12 shot) to follow up at Plumpton. Out of his depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 latest but should fare…	1-1160	S Bowen O Murphy	6	74.4kg	10 9/1
6th	7	—	Looping D'arc (G) Ran out at Hereford when bidding to make it 2-2 over hurdles, but more like it returned to left-handed track when chasing home a subsequent winner at Plumpton in January. Could still improve, though …	21R2	James Bowen W Greatrex	5	73kg	4 3/1
—	8	—	Casa Loupi (G) Pulled Up P Has done all his recent winning in soft/heavy ground and faces another tough task at the weights.	1P6-910	Rob Hargreaves G & J Moore	9	71.7kg	34 33/1
2nd	9	—	Comanche Magic (G) Keen-going sort hasn't been long with current yard and got off the mark in dominant style when making all at Catterick (soft) last month. This is much more competitive but further progress cannot be …	753-641	Charlie Hammond S Edmunds	6	70.8kg	4 3/1
8th	10	—	Sleeping Late (G) Lightly-raced maiden took a step forward when runner-up under a more patient ride at Fakenham in December, though he'll need to improve his jumping if he's to make his mark in better company.	32-5728	Jack Andrews Mrs P Sly	8	69.4kg	11 10/1
—	11	—	Unjeu Royal (G) Handicap debutant was much improved when runner-up in 2m maiden at Huntingdon in November but seemingly isn't the most robust, having found to have bled on qualifying run at Lingfield the following m…	1P/9281-	Stan Sheppard T Lacey	5	69.4kg	15 14/1
5th	12	—	Soleil D'arizona (M) HT Three-time winner for the Skeltons but hasn't beat a rival last two starts and is hard to fancy.	156053/	C J Todd D Skelton	6	68.9kg	151 150/1
—	13	—	Morning Mayhem (G) Improved again to resume winning ways in 6-runner handicap at Fakenham last month and though subsequent Ffos Las run can be forgiven, he'll need to pull out more upped in grade.	313-414	J M Quinlan Nick Scholfield	5	67.6kg	13 12/1
9th	14	—	Woodview Lad (G) Yet to build on promising hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott, for all he was ridden with handicaps in mind when fourth on qualifying run/stable debut at Uttoxeter in September, and further 5-month absen…	3-7498	Benjamin Macey G Hanmer	5	67.1kg	101 100/1
