2m4f 2m7½f 3m½f 2m7½f 3m6f	3	King Of Answers (IRE) NH Chase 2nd at Cheltenham; jumping can be a bit sticky but he's a prime candidate for 4m	6 G	AVG	Derek Fox	Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	166	143	6/1 Open: 11/2
3m 3m1f 3m 3m2½f 4m2f	4	Isaac Des Obeaux (FR) Asserted by 8l on run-in for 4m2f Midlands National at Uttoxeter (soft) last time; up 7lb	7 G	AVG	Sam Twiston-Davies	Paul Nicholls	162	139	17/2 Open: 10/1
3m 4m 2m5f 3m5½f 3m2½f	5	Our Power (IRE) 11l third in this last year; 6lb lower today, as he's not fired on all cylinders this term	9 G	AVG	Danny Gilligan	Sam Thomas	160	137	20/1 Open: 20/1

3m1f 3m½f 3m2f 3m1½f 3m	9	Katate Dori (FR) Unraced beyond 3m2f; should stay further than that but others are a bit more persuasive	7 G	AVG	Dylan Johnston	Sam Thomas	158	135	22/1 Open: 28/1
2m3½f 3m 2m4f 2m7½f 3m1f	10	Stolen Silver (FR) Seemingly nothing like the force of old; not proven beyond 3m either	10 G	AVG	Miss Olive Nicholls(5)	Georgina Nicholls	156	133	80/1 Open: 100/1

2m5½f 3m 3m 2m7½f 3m4½f	13	Maximilian (GER) Shaped as if he stayed when third of five over 3m4f at Haydock last time; wind op since	9 G	Good	William Maggs(3)	Donald McCain	155	132	14/1 Open: 16/1
3m 3m 2m7½f 3m2f 3m	14	Gabbys Cross (IRE) No win since 2022; while easier to envisage him as a stayer, this race is so much tougher	10 G	AVG	Sean Bowen	Nick Scholfield	154	131	50/1 Open: 40/1
2m2f 2m4f 2m4½f 2m5½f 3m2½f	15	Kim Roque (FR) Passed a lot of rivals to finish fourth of 23 in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham	4 G	AVG	J J Slevin	Joseph Patrick O'Brien	153	130	9/2 Open: 5/1
3m4½f 2m7½f 3m6½f 3m1f 4m2f	16	Collectors Item (IRE) Too often disappointing in major long-distance handicaps for him to be greatly fancied	8 G	AVG	Jonjo O'Neill Jr	Jonjo & A J O'Neill	153	130	50/1 Open: 50/1
3m2f 2m7f 3m6½f 3m4½f 4m2f	17	Git Maker (FR) The key to him is soft ground; third in this race in 2024 and in Midlands National latest	9 G	Good	Jonathan Burke	Jamie Snowden	152	129	12/1 Open: 11/1
2m5f 2m7f 3m 3m 2m7f	18	Kap Vert (FR) 2-4 chasing; remains capable of better and could stay beyond 3m; ran respectably on soft	5 G	AVG	Sean Houlihan	Philip Hobbs & Johnson White	152	129	22/1 Open: 20/1

2m7½f 3m 3m 3m1f 3m½f	20	Chasingouttheblues (IRE) Winning 3m races this season and a lot suggests that a major test of stamina will suit him	6 G	Good	Jamie Hamilton	Mark Walford	149	126	11/2 Open: 5/1
