5th	1	—	Imperial Bede (G) FAV P Back to winning ways at Catterick in February. Possibly found run coming too quickly when last of 5 at Hereford a fortnight later and quickly back on form when second at Haydock (2½m, good) last mont…	4/4152-5	H Cobden J & A O'Neill	8	77.1kg	3.25 9/4
6th	2	—	Salley Gardens (G) PT Won a pair of small-field chases for Olly Murphy last spring but hasn't scaled the same heights for this yard. On a good mark but others are still preferred.	P75435-	Philip Armson J Coulson	10	76.2kg	29 28/1
7th	3	—	Harel Du Marais (G) At his best when there's a real emphasis on speed and he cashed in on a reduced mark at Stratford (17f ) in March. Below-form third of 6 at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) since. The step back up in tr…	63313-7	C J Todd C & A Pogson	9	76.2kg	15 14/1
—	4	—	Start Again (G) T Maiden hurdle winner last autumn. Also a creditable third in a 2m Ascot novice in November but he made a disappointing start to his chase career when pulled up at Uttoxeter on Saturday.	2/3713-P	Jack Hogan F O'Brien	6	76.2kg	15 14/1
2nd	5	—	Theonlywayiswessex (G) Dual chase winner who was runner-up over C&D last summer. Off since a below-par fourth at Newton Abbot (21f) last August but fairly handicapped if ready to roll.	7/234-21	Thomas Bellamy A King	8	74.8kg	5.50 9/2
4th	6	—	Another Folly (G) P Put experience to good use when off the mark at Stratford (23f) last autumn. Mostly respectable efforts since, including in France last time.	212444-	C Gethings Mrs J Williams	7	74.8kg	4.50 7/2
—	7	—	Diligent Militia (G) Pulled Up PT Low-mileage sort who shaped a lot better than a remote fourth suggests on last month's 2m Chepstow handicap chase debut, in contention until a chance-ending mistake 2 out (rider lost irons).	1/5P44-	David Noonan Tim Vaughan	7	74.8kg	23 22/1
3rd	8	—	Dj Pete (G) P Showed a game attitude to get off the mark at Ffos Las in February and didn't take long for him to add to that tally at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Ran no sort of race at Chepstow last time, though.	P4151P-	James Best S-J Davies	8	72.1kg	11 10/1
1st	9	—	Full Force Gale (G) PT Bumper winner in 2024. Well held in maiden hurdles but different proposition switched to fences for handicap debut when second of 9 over C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago. Should progress.	6P/602-1	Charlie Deutsch T R George	6	70.3kg	4.50 7/2
