#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1	Franco De Port Bay J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	J:Paul Townend T:W P Mullins	150	—	54-533	-	179	-	22d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Hasn't won since 2020 but has been aimed at this race by powerful connections; can go well
2	Rosario Baron Bay J:Johnny Charron T:Daniela Mele	J:Johnny Charron T:Daniela Mele	150	t	13111-	-	160	-	26d	—	—	—	24.9	—	—
In good form and had plenty of chasing experience, but bit to find on the figures
3	Doctor Squeeze Bay J:Theo Chevillard T:D Bressou	J:Theo Chevillard T:D Bressou	150	b	36453-	-	162	-	33d	—	—	—	3.6	—	—
Run to the same level in defeat on last three starts; might plug on into a top six place
4	Carriacou Bay J:Gabin Meunier T:Mme I Pacault	J:Gabin Meunier T:Mme I Pacault	150	t	2F7/1-	-	169	-	71d	—	—	—	10	—	—
Won this race in the past and has no issues with the distance; likely contender
5	Metasequoia Grey J:Lucas Zuliani T:Mme I Pacault	J:Lucas Zuliani T:Mme I Pacault	150	t	32222-	-	168	-	43d	—	—	—	13.1	—	—
Has picked up a nasty habit of finishing second; should be keeping on when others fade
6	Imperil Bay J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Littmoden	J:Jack Quinlan T:Nick Littmoden	150	—	1/116-	-	148	-	22d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Knows how to win but readily beaten by a few of these last time, so needs to bounce back
7	Bandero Bay J:Nicolas Gauffenic T:Mlle A-S Pacault	J:Nicolas Gauffenic T:Mlle A-S Pacault	150	t	34591-	-	158	-	33d	—	—	—	10.6	—	—
Won over hurdles last time but form prior to that suggests he shouldn't be winning this
8	Spes Militurf Bay J:Kilian Dubourg T:H De Lageneste & G Macaire	J:Kilian Dubourg T:H De Lageneste & G Macaire	150	t	11B15-	-	173	-	22d	—	—	—	12	—	—
Only beaten once when remaining upright but that defeat was behind Poly Grandchamp
9	Doctor Kaleo Bay J:Thomas Beaurain T:Alain Couetil	J:Thomas Beaurain T:Alain Couetil	150	b	/1521-	-	156	-	33d	—	—	—	16.5	—	—
Stays well and won last time but not weighted to beat a couple behind him 33 days ago
10	Gex Bay J:Bertrand Lestrade T:Emmanuel Clayeux	J:Bertrand Lestrade T:Emmanuel Clayeux	150	—	1/241-	-	178	-	43d	—	—	—	7	—	—
Second in this last year and heads into this running off a win; obvious claims
11	Carefully Selected Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	150	—	/0-140	-	172	-	36d	—	—	—	0	—	—
Last two runs have been modest, although in good company, so needs to find improvement
12	Poly Grandchamp Bay J:Tristan Lemagnen T:Francois Nicolle	J:Tristan Lemagnen T:Francois Nicolle	150	tb	33371-	-	170	-	22d	—	—	—	13	—	—
Capable of top-class staying form and can run well, albeit vulnerable to a younger rival
13	General En Chef Bay J:Felix De Giles T:D Cottin	J:Felix De Giles T:D Cottin	150	ht	/5636-	-	162	-	43d	—	—	—	2.1	—	—
Beaten twice already in this and others make more appeal for win purposes
14	Suroit Bay J:Josef Bartos T:Josef Vana Jr	J:Josef Bartos T:Josef Vana Jr	150	—	511U2-	-	160	-	63d	—	—	—	12	—	—
Last-time-out second has been boosted since; place chances if staying the trip
15	Noble Yeats Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Emmet Mullins	J:Sean Bowen T:Emmet Mullins	150	p	11-344	-	189	-	36d	—	—	—	0	—	—
No problem with the distance and has to be a leading contender if close up on last circuit
16	Starlet Du Mesnil Grey J:Angelo Zuliani T:Francois Nicolle	J:Angelo Zuliani T:Francois Nicolle	146	t	32444-	-	169	-	43d	—	—	—	2.1	—	—
Has plenty of ability but has to be a question mark over the distance
17	Gessy Raiselle Roan J:Rachael Blackmore T:D Cottin	J:Rachael Blackmore T:D Cottin	141	tp	31157-	-	168	-	43d	—	—	—	8.6	—	—
Is at least a Grade 1 winner and has a low weight, but others easier to fancy
18	Altesse Du Berlais Bay J:Baptiste Le Clerc T:H De Lageneste & G Macaire	J:Baptiste Le Clerc T:H De Lageneste & G Macaire	141	t	64P32-	-	166	-	33d	—	—	—	6.4	—	—
Has a lovely low weight and holds place prospects if seeing out the trip
