11th	5	—	Buddy One (G) P Course winner who was a good fifth in last year's Stayers' Hurdle. Not at his best this term (mainly chasing) but no doubt he'll be primed for another big Festival run.	7/66P40-	Jack Gilligan P J Gilligan	9	73.5kg	41 40/1
—	6	—	Farren Glory (G) Pulled Up P Useful winning hurdler/chaser who has been campaigned lightly this term, posting a good third to Storm Heart in Grade 3 Red Mills at Gowran (2m) 25 days ago. Wouldn't dismiss back up in trip for his …	333P6/3	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	9	73kg	29 28/1

8th	11	—	Iberico Lord (G) Greatwood/Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023/24 who capitalised on a falling mark when cosily landing Lanzarote at Kempton (2m5f) in January despite challenging wide. Back up 8 lb but he's unexposed over …	00-9918	N de Boinville N J Henderson	8	71.2kg	10 9/1
14th	12	—	Guard Duty (G) Bagged three hurdle wins last season and has continued in very good form this term, landing 4-runner handicap at Doncaster (2m3f) in January. This is tougher but this reliable sort is no forlorn hope…	119-231	Ben Jones Miss E C Lavelle	9	70.3kg	26 25/1
17th	13	—	Chart Topper (G) P Dual 2m hurdles winner last term and he looked right back to his best when falling 2 out (likely to have finished second) in 3m handicap at Haydock 25 days ago. Remains low mileage and in the mix wit…	26-3PF0	Brian Hayes W P Mullins	7	69.9kg	34 33/1

15th	15	—	Sony Bill (G) T Ex-French winning hurdler but below par when fancied for Fred Winter here 12 months ago. Running well when fell last in Punchestown Grade 1 in May and not discredited after 9 months off when eighth o…	045-433	Sean O'Keeffe W P Mullins	5	69.9kg	51 50/1

19th	17	—	Rambo T (G) Has enjoyed plenty of success in handicap hurdles around 2½m, bagging Silver Trophy at Chepstow in October. His form has dipped since though, only tenth at Ascot (2m3f) last month. Others appeal more.	198000-	S Bowen O Murphy	9	69.4kg	81 80/1
—	18	—	Dargiannini (G) Pulled Up T Resumed winning ways after 9 months off at Uttoxeter in October but pulled up at Newbury following month. Given a break since but this demands a big step forward.	425-1PP	Paul O'Brien Harry Derham	11	69.4kg	151 150/1
2nd	19	—	Franciscan Rock (G) Winless since 2024 and he's been below par this season since reverted to hurdles, beating only one in Grade 2 at Gowran (23.5f) last time. Fifth in this in 2024 however so can't be totally dismissed.	349527-	Josh Williamson M F Morris	9	68.9kg	51 50/1
5th	20	—	Beckett Rock (G) Useful hurdler who made a low-key start over fences earlier this term but produced easily his most encouraging effort to date switched to a handicap when runner-up at Gowran (2m3f) 25 days ago. Sixth…	0-05425	Mike O'Connor H De Bromhead	7	68.9kg	34 33/1

20th	22	—	Minella Rescue (G) Second in the Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree and scored at Uttoxeter (2m7f) in May. Possibly unsuited by conditions after 4 months off at Doncaster recently but this is surely too much of an ask.	8400-74	G Sheehan G Hanmer	8	68.9kg	126 125/1
7th	23	—	Forty Coats (G) P Very useful hurdler who came in a good fourth in the Baring Bingham here 12 months ago. Only seen twice this season and well below par when an odds-on third in Thurles novice in January. Needs to bou…	2224-73	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	7	68.5kg	21 20/1
