7	River Vale b J:Mr L Burke-Ott T:Michael Winters	J:Mr L Burke-Ott T:Michael Winters	164	t	-44130	102	109	79	8d	—	—	+12	23.2	13/2 13%
Handicap chase win in October was over a staying trip, this could prove inadequate
8	Titanium b J:Mr Alan O'Sullivan T:Ciaran Murphy	J:Mr Alan O'Sullivan T:Ciaran Murphy	164	v	570-3	102	103	91	17d	—	—	+7	19.6	11/2 15%

5	King Kali b J:Mr D Doyle T:Sean Byrne	J:Mr D Doyle T:Sean Byrne	169	—	2/031-	107	107	-	446d	—	—	+13	19.5	12/1 8%
Off for almost 15 months since 2024 Listowel festival win, not much mileage on the clock
10	Hesgonethatway b J:Miss P Elvin T:P J Rothwell	J:Miss P Elvin T:P J Rothwell	162	—	006	100	105	96	37d	—	—	+8	14.1	16/1 6%
Three-figure odds in three maidens, most recent effort at Gowran was not devoid of promise
12	Tsavo Park b J:Ms K M Ryan(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	J:Ms K M Ryan(4) T:John Joseph Hanlon	160	t	750-53	98	106	74	60d	—	—	+8	13.4	18/1 5%

14	Marelly b J:Mr B J Walsh T:P J Rothwell	J:Mr B J Walsh T:P J Rothwell	158	p	-P0505	96	116	88	32d	—	—	+7	13.2	16/1 6%
On a long losing run since back-to-back wins in the final months of 2022, others preferred
