9th	1	—	Etalon (G) T Got right back on track when easily winning 2m handicap chase at Perth (soft) in April. Returned with a good second at Fontwell 5 weeks ago and he's one to consider.	529134-	Kielan Woods D Skelton	8	76.7kg	13 12/1
6th	2	—	General Medrano (G) Shaped as if as good as ever when fourth at Ascot on return and impressive winner of this last season on second start back. Bold bid anticipated.	4280-46	Ben Jones Miss E C Lavelle	8	75.7kg	5 4/1
4th	3	—	Rare Edition (G) Useful hurdler and quickly reached a similar standard over fences last season, scoring on reappearance at Uttoxeter before good second at Ascot. Creditable second at Kelso on return and is on a compe…	4F-24P7	David Bass C E Longsdon	8	73.5kg	12 11/1
7th	4	—	Uncle Phil (G) HT Smart handicap chaser at his best for Willie Mullins but offered little last season and always behind both starts for this yard at Cheltenham this term.	PP7634-	Isabelle Ryder Chester Williams	8	73.5kg	67 66/1
3rd	5	—	Doyen Du Bar (G) H Progressed again last season, winning 3 small-field events, including when making the most of a good opportunity at Ayr final start. Will find this more competitive and has since left Pauline Robson.	121-323	H Cobden N G Richards	9	72.1kg	4.50 7/2
1st	6	—	Ryan's Rocket (G) Irish point/hurdles winner who made a perfect start in this sphere when landing a 2m Chepstow handicap a year ago. Decent second at Ascot next time before failing to stay when upped in trip at Chelte…	26U-1U6	J J Burke F O'Brien	7	71.2kg	19 18/1
2nd	7	—	Javert Allen (G) FAV Took well to fences last season, winning first 2 starts. Shaped encouragingly having typically done plenty in the lead at Aintree on return and he remains unexposed.	25-4235	C Gethings Mrs J Williams	6	69.9kg	4 3/1
5th	8	—	Luminous Light (G) Belied significant market weakness when defying a penalty in novice at Punchestown 16 days ago but had been withdrawn twice after refusing to line up the previous month and not one for maximum faith.	119-215	J J Slevin A McCann	6	69.4kg	26 25/1
8th	9	—	Rath Gaul Hill (G) T Completed hat-trick when making a belated winning return over C&D in February. Not disgraced from out of the weights in Red Rum at Aintree since and should be much more competitive here.	16-83P4	Brendan Powell S Drinkwater	7	68.5kg	6.50 11/2
—	10	—	Abingworth (G) Pulled Up Decent strike rate over fences but was once again let down by his jumping at Wincanton on return to this sphere and all of his wins have come at a lower level.	1-U214P	S Bowen James Owen	7	64.4kg	13 12/1
