4	Olympic Man Bay J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Mr P W Mullins T:W P Mullins	160	—	2-P461	142	154	84	34d	—	—	+17	30.1	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Lots to prove in this fourth run over fences but he's also a horse of considerable promise
7	Captain Cody Bay J:Harry Cobden T:W P Mullins	J:Harry Cobden T:W P Mullins	158	—	-0443U	140	151	118	32d	—	—	+17	25.5	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Stayed 3m well on penultimate start; unseated latest, so he's a dark horse from top stable
17	The Kniphand Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Nigel Twiston-Davies	145	p	-12132	127	153	141	42d	—	—	+29	37.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Left strong impression over 3m2f last time that he has stamina reserves; each-way appeal
10	Spanish Harlem Chestnut J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	J:Brian Hayes T:W P Mullins	154	tp	6-P074	136	154	100	51d	—	—	+16	23.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
0-12 for W Mullins; best when about 8l sixth in this 2024 from off the pace; 4lb lower now
12	Rock My Way Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	151	tb	-31422	133	154	132	32d	—	—	+27	35	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Stuck to his task very well when second in the 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham latest outing
6	Famous Bridge Bay J:Sean Quinlan T:Nicky Richards	J:Sean Quinlan T:Nicky Richards	159	p	4-2316	141	155	130	32d	—	—	+18	24.7	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Won the 3m4f Grand National Trial at Haydock two starts back; appealing candidate for 4m
8	Surrey Quest Bay J:Kevin Brogan T:Toby Lawes	J:Kevin Brogan T:Toby Lawes	157	tp	02-2U3	139	153	104	69d	—	—	+17	24.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Pipped in this 2024 off 6lb lower; good places this term; cheekpieces (tried once) return
23	Brandt Bay J:Sean Bowen T:Cian Collins	J:Sean Bowen T:Cian Collins	142	t	7U5221	124	146	120	41d	—	—	+30	35.9	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Up to 3m4f in Dublin National at Leopardstown and challenged late to score in tidy style
9	Chosen Witness Bay J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	J:Sean O'Keeffe T:W P Mullins	155	t	1-073U	137	146	111	62d	—	—	+24	30.5	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Seriously lacking in experience but there's plenty of the scopey stayer about him
5	Macdermott Bay J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	J:Danny Mullins T:W P Mullins	160	—	1-P0UP	142	153	41	51d	—	—	+26	31.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
All form in the mud; won this by a nose last year; 5lb higher now; out of form this term
11	Hasthing Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	151	p	-4114F	133	154	112	32d	—	—	+23	28.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Disputing third when final-fence faller in the 3m6f NH Chase; cheekpieces first time today
13	Sail Away Grey J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	150	t	PF7632	132	154	139	16d	—	—	+23	28.9	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Placed off career-low mark (3lb higher today) on last two outings; unraced beyond 3m1f
14	Wiseguy Bay J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	J:Nico de Boinville T:Nicky Henderson	147	—	6P-167	129	159	146	30d	—	—	+16	21.4	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Seventh in the 3m2f Kim Muir; new trip does not significantly boost his prospects
21	Klarc Kent Bay J:Jonathan Burke T:W P Mullins	J:Jonathan Burke T:W P Mullins	142	p	P0P908	124	159	113	32d	—	—	+15	19.7	5.00/1	20/1 5%
6l fourth at 50-1 in this (soft; 8lb lower today) last April reads well; out of form since
2	Henry's Friend Bay J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	J:Ben Jones T:Ben Pauling	162	p	P-4518	144	153	121	32d	—	—	+21	24.6	5.50/1	22/1 4%
Won by 6l at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft; 6lb higher today) in December; excuses last time
15	Flash De Touzaine Bay J:Sean Flanagan T:Liz Doyle	J:Sean Flanagan T:Liz Doyle	147	tp	245961	129	156	127	30d	—	—	+27	30.6	7.00/1	28/1 3%

22	Magna Sam Bay J:David Noonan T:Alastair Ralph	J:David Noonan T:Alastair Ralph	142	p	P-PP31	124	154	129	69d	—	—	+16	19.5	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Won 2023 and 2025 editions of Edinburgh National at Musselburgh; bold show in this in 2023
16	Walking On Air Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Faye Bramley	J:Richie McLernon T:Faye Bramley	146	t	-P63F0	128	159	103	30d	—	—	+17	20.5	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Narrow lead at the final fence at Doncaster two starts back only to fall; 11th in Kim Muir
20	Snipe Bay J:Harry Atkins(7) T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Atkins(7) T:Dan Skelton	144	p	-22383	126	159	142	16d	—	—	+24	26.9	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Coming up short lately; best runs contain strong encouragement that long trip should suit
3	Our Power Bay J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	J:Dylan Johnston(3) T:Sam Thomas	161	p	7F-223	143	154	120	49d	—	—	+21	24	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Close to his best with placed efforts this winter but this 10yo probably needs a new high
18	Grozni Bay J:Callum Pritchard(5) T:James Owen	J:Callum Pritchard(5) T:James Owen	145	v	5-P156	127	153	108	30d	—	—	+18	19.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Well-held sixth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham for the second year running; not persuasive
19	Dom Of Mary Bay J:Caoilin Quinn T:David Bridgwater	J:Caoilin Quinn T:David Bridgwater	144	p	38-P28	126	155	102	30d	—	—	+18	19.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
First and a close 2nd in last two Sussex Nationals at Plumpton (extended 3m4f); more to do
1	Mr Incredible Bay J:Alice Stevens(3) T:Sandy Thomson	J:Alice Stevens(3) T:Sandy Thomson	168	—	UP-PRP	150	-	-	21d	—	—	+24	25.4	16.50/1	66/1 1%
