5th	1	—	Intense Raffles (G) P Smart chaser who has been largely disappointing since winning 2024 Irish Grand National, though made a bit more impact when down the field in the Bobbyjo Chase behind Grangeclare West last time. Hand…	P-38PP6	J J Slevin T Gibney	8	75.3kg	34 33/1
3rd	2	—	Ain't That A Shame (G) Former Thyestes Chase winner who was also sixth in 2024 Grand National for Henry de Bromhead. However, was completely tailed off when falling at the last in a Kelso listed race at the end of February…	09P16/F	J J Burke T Ellis	12	73kg	51 50/1
—	3	—	Better Times Ahead (G) Won 3m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in November prior to following up in the Porterstown (3¾m) at same course later in the month. Ran a cracker when second in the Thyestes at Gowran in January but ran …	4-1127P	Mark Walsh R Tyner	9	71.2kg	17 16/1
—	4	—	Born Braver (G) Pulled Up P Won Ulster National at Downpatrick (extended 3½m) in March and presumably found the racing coming too soon when well beaten in the Irish Grand National 8 days later. Others more persuasive.	962010	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	8	69.9kg	13 12/1
—	5	—	Daily Present (G) Pulled Up BT Won the Kim Muir at Cheltenham in 2024/25, but hasn't fired this season, including in the same race last time. Yard is going well and good-value 5 lb conditional booked but well-being has to be taken…	31P-0P0	Mr B T Stone P Nolan	9	69.9kg	21 20/1
—	6	—	Folly Master (G) Useful chaser who was runner-up in handicap hurdles in January and February before catching the eye when 7¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Jigoro in handicap over inadequate 2m at Gowran in March. Has long …	12-5224	Mr J C Barry Tom Dreaper	8	69.9kg	13 12/1
—	7	—	Jasmin De Grugy (G) FAV Pulled Up PT Landed a 5-timer in 2024/25 but proved better than ever in first-time cheekpieces when winning Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster by 33 lengths from Some Scope. Has been given time to get over that perfor…	132-4F1	R P McLernon A J Honeyball	7	69.9kg	4.50 7/2
—	8	—	Duffle Coat (G) Pulled Up P Running well when brought down 2 out in the National Hunt Chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival but has struggled since and was labouring from a long way out in Irish Grand National on return fr…	PP/09PP-	James Smith G Elliott	9	69.4kg	51 50/1
—	9	—	Sa Majeste (G) Pulled Up Bordering on smart stayer in 2024/25, but hasn't looked the same horse this season, his best recent effort coming when 20 lengths third of 15 to The Lovely Man in Leinster National Handicap Chase at …	P-40P3P	Aidan Kelly W P Mullins	8	69.4kg	29 28/1
—	10	—	Saint Davy (G) Pulled Up P Three-time winning hurdler who has also shown useful form over fences without getting his head in front. Shaped with some promise on first 2 starts this season but was disappointing at Uttoxeter last…	F4P-334	Darragh O'Keeffe J & A O'Neill	9	68.5kg	23 22/1
—	11	—	Shanbally Kid (G) Unseated Rider P Won this race last May by 15 lengths from Outside The Door. Has struggled off higher marks and with his jumping since, however, and whilst he did shape better than being pulled up suggests in the Iri…	P4PU-P6	Danny Mullins W P Mullins	9	68.5kg	12 11/1
—	12	—	Will Do (G) Pulled Up B Remains winless over fences and looks to have lost his way this season, digging his heels in and refusing at the last when tailed off in handicap at Fairyhouse last time.	20P0PP-	Josh Williamson G Elliott	9	68.5kg	34 33/1
—	13	—	Brideswell Lad (G) Pulled Up Won Killarney National in May 2024, but has been lightly raced and made little impact since, for all he showed up a bit better in a veterans event at Wexford earlier this month.	P4508P/	Anna McGuinness S Neville	10	68kg	34 33/1
2nd	14	—	Fishery Lane (G) Fairly useful form in maiden chases this winter and made a promising start to his handicap career over fences when fourth of 16 over 21.5f at Leopardstown in March. Failed to complete on his first at…	7F324F	Sean O'Keeffe W P Mullins	7	68kg	23 22/1
4th	15	—	Fortunate Man (G) PT As good as ever when landing same Aintree race for the second year running on return, beating a subsequent winner. Hasn't kicked on in 3 subsequent outings, though left poorly placed under a patient …	34-1354	H Cobden J & A O'Neill	7	67.1kg	11 10/1
1st	16	—	Uncle Pat (G) FAV Maiden chaser who has posted several good efforts this season, including when runner-up on last 2 starts, beaten 5 lengths by Born Braver in 15-runner Ulster National at Downpatrick last time. Should…	2U221-7	Paul Townend W P Mullins	8	67.1kg	4.50 7/2
—	17	—	J'arrive De L'est (G) Pulled Up P Useful ex-French chaser (dual cross-country scorer) who acquitted himself well in similar events on first 2 starts for current yard prior to disappointing (made respiratory noise) in Midlands Nationa…	U17-22P	Donagh Meyler E Mullins	7	66.2kg	11 10/1
6th	18	—	Union Station (G) Maiden chaser who caught the eye when fourth in the National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham Festival, but failed to build on that back down in trip at Fairyhouse last time. Should…	2P2U44	Conor Stone-Walsh G P Cromwell	7	66.2kg	9 8/1
—	19	—	Built By Ballymore (G) BT Maiden chaser who was in front and responding when unseating his rider at the last in the 3m Leinster National at Naas in March. He was not in anything like the same form last time, though, and while…	9-493UP	Ricky Doyle M Brassil	8	65.8kg	13 12/1
—	20	—	Lord Lariat (G) Pulled Up VT Won Irish Grand National in his pomp but has been lightly raced and largely out of sorts since. Wears first-time visor but hard to fancy.	000F8P-	P J O'Hanlon D A McLoughlin	11	64.9kg	67 66/1
7th	21	—	Brucejack (G) P Thorough stayer who finally got off the mark when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (3¼m, good to soft) 20 days ago. Up in grade here and good conditional booked to offset him racing fro…	885511	Michael Kenneally P A Fahy	9	63.5kg	6.50 11/2
—	22	—	Evies Vladimir (G) Pulled Up P Runner-up at Navan in December but that is very much a standout in relation to his form these past 2 seasons. Races from 6 lb out of the handicap.	P29996	Alix Balfe G P Cromwell	9	63.5kg	34 33/1
