#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	Odds
1	Malina Girl br J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:Gavin Cromwell	J:Conor Stone-Walsh(5) T:Gavin Cromwell	168	—	1P-01F	146	156	103	28d	—	—	+7	31.3	3/1 25%
Good 3m4f and 3m3f wins already; travelling strongly when she fell 3 out on latest outing
2	Galia Des Liteaux b J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	164	p	154-12	142	157	98	24d	—	—	+15	26.1	7/1 13%
Her peak display came on this card last year (heavy); headgear enlisted and upped in trip
4	Fontaine Collonges b J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	162	—	40P-U1	140	155	117	18d	—	—	+16	25	8/1 11%
7lb rise could still leave her well treated; well worth this third go at a marathon trip
5	City Chief b J:Robert Dunne T:Nicky Henderson	J:Robert Dunne T:Nicky Henderson	162	—	113-45	140	154	105	28d	—	—	+16	25	10/1 9%
Looked promising last term; a bit to prove after weakening late on this term at Cheltenham
12	My Silver Lining gr J:James Best T:Emma Lavelle	J:James Best T:Emma Lavelle	144	—	51-122	122	153	114	36d	—	—	+12	20.4	12/1 8%
In career-best form at 3m1f/3m; useful 3m4f/3m6f chase winner is close up in the pedigree
7	Guetapan Collonges b J:Richie McLernon T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Richie McLernon T:Charlie Longsdon	158	—	414-13	136	151	107	55d	—	—	+16	23.6	11/1 8%
Well-held 4th in this 2023; kept on strongly for 3rd to Malina Girl over Cheltenham 3m3f
8	Major Dundee b J:Jonathan Burke T:Alan King	J:Jonathan Burke T:Alan King	157	v	031-35	135	152	111	35d	—	—	+15	23.6	11/1 8%
4m2f Midlands National winner; needs to put latest display way behind him; visored now
3	Beauport b J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Jordan Nailor T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	163	—	49F-52	141	149	88	35d	—	—	+18	24.5	14/1 7%
Might have turned the corner with his 2nd in the London National at Sandown (3m4f, heavy)
10	Credo b J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Anthony Honeyball	155	—	34-123	133	148	110	21d	—	—	+16	22.5	16/1 6%
In top form this season; has stayed well over an extended 3m2f, the furthest she's been
14	Volcano gr J:Ben Jones T:Sheila Lewis	J:Ben Jones T:Sheila Lewis	142	tp	1P-250	120	151	111	29d	—	—	+13	19.1	16/1 6%
Warwick specialist but this task looks a bit too tough, as it was when fifth last year
11	Percussion b J:Harry Reed T:L J Morgan	J:Harry Reed T:L J Morgan	153	tp	53P-23	131	150	123	35d	—	—	+17	21.5	22/1 4%
Three places over the big Aintree fences, staying on stoutly over 3m2f on heavy last time
9	Broken Halo b J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	J:Lorcan Williams T:Paul Nicholls	155	t	8110-F	133	152	130	35d	—	—	+18	21.8	22/1 4%
Yet to be asked for his effort when falling two out at Sandown (3m4f, heavy) latest start
6	Rapper b J:Alice Stevens(5) T:Henry Daly	J:Alice Stevens(5) T:Henry Daly	161	p	15P-P4	139	154	107	28d	—	—	+19	23.6	20/1 5%
It's plausible that he will stay beyond 3m3f but he probably needs to hit a new high
13	Duc De Beauchene b J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	J:Jack Tudor T:David Pipe	142	tb	214P85	120	154	127	18d	—	—	+17	19.2	66/1 1%
3m5f win at Fakenham last May; 2lb lower now, having failed to fire in his four runs since
