1st	2	—	Special John (G) FAV Won his first 2 starts over fences last season at Exeter and Wincanton. Good second of 3 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25f) 34 days ago so merits serious consideration eased 1 lb.	1552-12	Matt Griffiths S Thomas	7	75.7kg	4 3/1
6th	3	—	Cahier's Den (G) Remains winless under Rules but he comes here in good nick, second of 6 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23f) 46 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts again.	23/6432-	Theo Gillard D McCain Jnr	6	75.3kg	4.50 7/2

2nd	6	—	Good Work (G) P Irresolute performer. Not disgraced when fourth over C&D 46 days ago but has won once from 31 starts. Cheekpieces back on.	3P4434-	Toby Wynne O Greenall & J Guerriero	10	71.2kg	7 6/1

3rd	8	—	Friends Don't Ask (G) P Fourteen runs since his last win in 2021. Not disgraced when third of 11 in handicap chase at Fontwell (3¼m) 10 days ago. Unreliable overall though.	P-33242	Ryan Mania C Ellam	11	68.5kg	34 33/1
9th	9	—	Getaway Glory (G) P Fair performer at his best but offered little under both codes last season, tenth in 3m handicap hurdle at Wetherby in March. Has since had a breathing operation.	2/8PP0-9	C J Todd O Greenall & J Guerriero	7	67.1kg	9 8/1
5th	10	—	On The Platform (G) P Took this prize in 2024 but he's an inconsistent sort and was pulled up in handicap chase at Stratford when last seen 18 months ago.	3P1P/55	Stan Sheppard B Clarke	10	67.1kg	13 12/1
