3rd	7	—	Madara (G) FAV P Making only fifth start for his leading yard, proved better than ever in reapplied cheekpieces when justifying favouritism in the Plate at Cheltenham a month ago, jumping superbly/travelling powerful…	842-521	Harry Skelton D Skelton	7	71.7kg	4.50 7/2
8th	8	—	Boombawn (G) Grade 2 novice winner during a busy 2024/25 and best effort of current campaign when third in Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton in January. Hasn't made much impact in a trio of handicaps since, ninth…	443809	Tristan Durrell D Skelton	9	69.9kg	19 18/1

17th	14	—	Viroflay (G) Useful hunter chaser for Olive Nicholls and has made a sound start re-united with this yard, off the mark in handicaps at the third attempt over 3m at Kempton in December. Typically jumped well when …	2/22120-	Miss O Nicholls P F Nicholls	9	67.6kg	11 10/1
