8th	1	—	Brookie (G) T Smart chaser but pulled up at Ascot when last seen in November and, having yet to win outside of handicap company, there's little in his record to suggest he can play a prominent role here.	24-3P80	Sam Twiston-Davies A J Honeyball	9	74.4kg	151 150/1
4th	2	—	Captain Guinness (G) P Good record in this race, winning in 2024 and placed in 2023 and 2025. Has yet to fire this winter so this 11-y-o's hopes are pinned on first-time cheekpieces and a return to Cheltenham sparking a re…	632-P63	Jordan Gainford H De Bromhead	11	74.4kg	51 50/1
—	3	—	Found A Fifty (G) Pulled Up Followed up win in Fortria at Navan by defeating a returning Majborough in the Hilly Way at Cork. A recent short-priced defeat over 20.5f at Navan can likely be forgiven (raced too close to a strong …	11434P	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	9	74.4kg	21 20/1
1st	4	—	Il Etait Temps (G) T Returned with wins in Clonmel Oil and Tingle Creek. Readily defeated Jonbon in the latter but looked beaten in behind that same rival when falling heavily 2 out at Ascot since. That was hardly an ide…	1/1-11F1	Paul Townend W P Mullins	8	74.4kg	3.50 5/2
6th	5	—	Irish Panther (G) H Pretty useful hurdler who has taken really well to fences, building on opening Navan maiden success when ½-length second of 9 to Romeo Coolio in Grade 1 novice at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.…	03-1126	Kieren Buckley E & P Harty	9	74.4kg	17 16/1
3rd	6	—	L'eau Du Sud (G) T Grade 1 novice chase winner last term and improved again when proving way too strong for Jonbon in the Grade 2 Shloer on his C&D reappearance. Not at the same level when 18 lengths third to Il Etait …	143-133	Harry Skelton D Skelton	8	74.4kg	7.50 13/2
2nd	7	—	Libberty Hunter (G) Hold-up performer who has won twice over fences here and was also second in the Grand Annual over C&D at the 2024 Festival. Best effort this term when 7¼ lengths third of 6 to Lulamba in Game Spirit …	12F-U43	S Bowen Mrs C Williams	10	74.4kg	51 50/1
7th	8	—	Majborough (G) FAV P Held back by jumping errors on occasions over fences but put it all together with cheekpieces fitted (retained) when proving 19 lengths too strong for Marine Nationale and Found A Fifty in a Grade 1 …	31-2317	Mark Walsh W P Mullins	6	74.4kg	1.83 5/6
5th	9	—	Quilixios (G) High-class chaser. Not seen since his late fall in this 12 months ago (looked set for second behind Marine Nationale) but he does have a good record fresh.	85/124F-	Darragh O'Keeffe H De Bromhead	9	74.4kg	15 14/1
—	10	—	Saint Segal (G) Pulled Up T Having an excellent season, winning twice and runner-up on his other 3 starts, including to Lulamba in the Game Spirit at Newbury last month. Place shout.	12122P	C Gethings Mrs J Williams	8	74.4kg	51 50/1
