—	7	—	Ain't That A Shame (G) Sixth in 2024 Grand National for Henry de Bromhead but tailed off when falling at the last in a Kelso listed race at the end of February on his first outing since. Can only watch. Reserve in the Gran…	09P16/F	Jack Andrews T Ellis	12	74.8kg	67 66/1

—	10	—	Deep Cave (G) Pulled Up Finished last season with success in the 3m handicap hurdle on this card and further progress back chasing this winter making it a cross-code hat-trick in Silver Cup at Ascot in December. Winning run…	1/1150P-	Jack Tudor Christian Williams	8	73.9kg	19 18/1

6th	13	—	In Love (G) B Useful chaser in France but gone over 2 years without a win. Looks on a competitive mark for his first start in Britain but others are still preferred.	P373-46	Jordan Gainford H Merienne	8	71.2kg	51 50/1
—	14	—	Stolen Silver (G) T Very smart chaser at his best but lost his way for Sam Thomas last term and well beaten all 4 outings this season.	4/0P30P-	Miss O Nicholls G Nicholls	11	70.8kg	101 100/1
