—	1	—	Jeriko Du Reponet (G) Pulled Up P Smart winner of Punchestown listed handicap hurdle (in cheekpieces) last May, but he was let down by his jumping on handicap chase debut in the Kim Muir last month having been well backed after 3 eye…	21-2250	N de Boinville N J Henderson	7	76.2kg	26 25/1
4th	2	—	Supremely West (G) Had excuses for all bar one of his runs following encouraging stable debut third behind Ma Shantou/Electric Mason and duly produced a career-best performance when a decisive winner of the Pertemps Fi…	3-35461	Harry Skelton D Skelton	8	74.8kg	8 7/1
2nd	3	—	Eagle Fang (G) V Useful sort has gone backwards from a successful chase bow at Thurles (well beaten both starts in January) and is likely to come up short on hurdles return, even if a first-time visor revives him.	3/21	Patrick M O'Brien W Durkan	6	74.4kg	29 28/1
6th	4	—	Harbour Lake (G) Successful in C&D handicap last season and again in valuable handicap at Haydock last spring. Well held following a breathing operation at Cheltenham on New Year's Day but could be closer to form thi…	P2/1P46-	Thomas Bellamy A King	10	73.9kg	34 33/1
3rd	5	—	Chart Topper (G) Was in the process of running a cracker when falling in Pertemps Qualifier at Haydock on return, but headgear quickly shelved here, having disappointed with his finishing effort (in first-time cheekp…	26-3PF0	Brian Hayes W P Mullins	7	73kg	26 25/1
8th	6	—	Ace Of Spades (G) Made a winning reappearance at this track and was still progressing when landing weak Huntingdon contest in January. Made no impression behind stablemate Supremely West in the Pertemps Final at Chelt…	2-14210	Sam Twiston-Davies D Skelton	7	72.6kg	26 25/1
14th	7	—	Minella Rescue (G) P Well placed when second at 50/1 in the Grade 1 Sefton over C&D last year. Cheekpieces go on having been well beaten in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham last time.	8400-74	Ben Jones G Hanmer	8	71.2kg	29 28/1
1st	8	—	Wade Out (G) B Has found life tougher since winning first 2 starts over fences, finishing distant sixth in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. Looks the type to benefit from more severe headgear on hurdles retur…	16-1146	G Sheehan O Murphy	7	70.8kg	19 18/1
16th	9	—	Absolutely Doyen (G) Progressed again to make it 5-5 for Paul Nicholls in a fairly useful Musselburgh novice, and he's very much worth treating as if still in top form despite finishing eighth (beaten 7¾ lengths) behind …	111118	H Cobden P F Nicholls	6	70.8kg	11 10/1
9th	10	—	Push The Button (G) Creditable sixth in this race 12 months ago for the Twiston-Davies stable (bought for £105,000 by new yard) but his jumping hasn't passed the test over fences recently following a promising start and…	8-12273	Rian Corcoran M Walford	7	70.8kg	29 28/1
15th	11	—	Kikijo (G) Low-mileage 6-y-o confirmed himself an out-and-out stayer when landing second leg of a double at Sandown (solid form) but was found wanting for speed on good ground in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, and…	12-4110	Callum Pritchard P Hobbs & J White	6	70.8kg	41 40/1
13th	12	—	Ikarak (G) P Dual winner this season and ran a cracker to finish third behind Supremely West at Cheltenham. Should give his running again, although Sean Bowen looks elsewhere.	52-1313	K Brogan O Murphy	8	70.3kg	34 33/1
—	13	—	Good To Be Alive (G) Pulled Up Lightly-raced 5-y-o progressed again when useful second at Kelso (21f) in late-February, and while this is a much deeper race, he looks sure to benefit from the step up in trip and should continue on…	45-2212	Jack Kennedy O Murphy	5	69.9kg	13 12/1
12th	14	—	Duke Silver (G) On the up when winning staying handicaps at Listowel and Leopardstown this season and though better than ever when 7½ lengths sixth behind Supremely West at Cheltenham (50/1), he may find a few too g…	17603-U	Hugh Horgan J P O'Brien	6	69.9kg	19 18/1
17th	15	—	Fortune Timmy (G) Improving novice finished promising third in Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials Day and having lacked the speed to get involved in Grade 1 Baring Bingham (21f) there last time, makes appeal tackling 3m …	2-13130	Tom Cannon C Gordon	6	69.4kg	11 10/1
—	16	—	Get On George (G) Pulled Up Confirmed himself a useful hurdler when runner-up behind impressive winner in EBF Novices' Final at Sandown last month, and with stamina looking his strong suit, he's well worth another try over this…	4141P2	Jack Tudor J Parkinson & S Smith	6	69.4kg	12 11/1
5th	17	—	Hold The Serve (G) FAV Successful sole start in points and has proved most progressive since undergoing breathing operation following debut flop, finding plenty to land a hat-trick on handicap debut at Kempton in February.…	1-0111	S Bowen O Murphy	6	68.5kg	4.33 10/3
—	18	—	Bold Endeavour (G) Pulled Up P Veteran has fallen a long way in the weights and gave his all when seventh in the Pertemps on second start since rejoining Nicky Henderson. Probably vulnerable to less-exposed types, though.	PP/37P-0	James Bowen N J Henderson	10	68.5kg	23 22/1
10th	19	—	Quantum Quest (G) P Low-mileage stayer underlined his consistency when runner-up in Grade 3 novice at Cork in December, though faces no easy task off this mark on return to a handicap.	211520/	J J Slevin H De Bromhead	6	68kg	19 18/1
—	20	—	Idem (G) Pulled Up Backed up his Musselburgh second when 7¼ lengths fifth in the Pertemps at Cheltenham last time (travelled well), though this tricky customer will probably need another strongly-run race to be competi…	0-25825	P W Wadge L Russell & M Scudamore	8	67.6kg	26 25/1
11th	21	—	Kaka's Cousin (G) £160,000 Irish pointer underlined a promising start over hurdles when fourth in EBF Novices' Final at Sandown on handicap bow. That performance can be marked up and he's very much unexposed tackling …	F2-1214	Jonjo O'Neill Jr. J & A O'Neill	6	67.6kg	7.50 13/2
7th	22	—	Lihyan (G) H Strong-travelling sort was delivered late to land 6-runner handicap at Newbury last time, and while this is significantly more competitive, he could pick up some pieces if getting a well-run race.	32917-4	William Maggs R Menzies	8	67.6kg	51 50/1
