@Sarah 6. 11-1P11 Haiti Couleurs 9 11-10 T: Miss R Curtis J: S Bowen 5/1 About: Successful in the National Hunt Chase at this meeting and Irish Grand National last spring. Flopped in the Betfair Chase in November but has otherwise continued to progress this season, winning the Denman Chase at Newbury in convincing fashion last month. Has proven stamina and could be in the mix.

@Dobbo 4. 2P12-13 Grey Dawning 9 11-10 T: D Skelton J: Harry Skelton 14/1 About: Golden Miller winner at 2024 Festival and resumed with a comfortable success in the Betfair Chase at Haydock. Bad mistake 2 out proved costly when third to Spillane's Tower here on Trials Day and less testing conditions should be in his favour this time, but a step forward will be required.

@Mack 11. 22/11-11 The Jukebox Man 8 11-10 T: B Pauling J: Ben Jones 11/4f About: Smart novice hurdler (went close in the Albert Bartlett at 2024 Festival) and successful both starts over fences last season, notably the Grade 1 Kauto Star. Again shone at Kempton on Boxing Day when making it 4-4 over fences in the King George and he's not taken lightly with more still to offer.

@King Rollo 7. 541-59F Inothewayurthinkin 8 11-10 T: G P Cromwell IRE J: Mark Walsh 17/2 About: Kim Muir winner in 2024 and made it 2-2 at the Festival when coming out on top against Galopin des Champs in this race 12 months ago. Well below his best in 3 runs so far this season and, while it's possible that he'll again peak at this meeting, a major bounce back is needed with cheekpieces added.

@Houdini 1. 24/1U3-1 Envoi Allen 12 11-10 T: H De Bromhead IRE J: Darragh O'Keeffe. 28/1 About: His record at this meeting is enviable having notched third Festival success in the 2023 Ryanair and placed in the next 2 renewals. Got the better of subsequent Savills Chase winner Affordale Fury at Down Royal on return, but you have to go back to 1969 for the last time a 12-y-o landed this prize.

@Steve201 10.252-931 Spillane's Tower 8 11-10 T: J J Mangan IRE J: H Cobden 16/1 About: Grade 1-winning novice chaser who showed top-class form when runner-up in the 2024 John Durkan at Punchestown. After a couple of runs over hurdles, back on the scoresheet in 4-runner Cotswold Chase here in January, though he found a well-run King George a bit too much last season.

@Lee_J11 2. 362-124 Firefox 8 11-10 T: G Elliott IRE J: Jack Kennedy 33/1 About: Smart novice last season, unable to add to chase debut success but giving a good account at the highest level and sixth of 19 in the Golden Miller at this meeting. Landed the odds at Down Royal on return, but task is now to build on his fourth in the Irish Gold Cup upped further in trip.

@Riser 3. 311-132 Gaelic Warrior 8 11-10 T: W P Mullins IRE J: Paul Townend 10/3 About: Boasts a fine record at this meeting having finished second over hurdles at the 2022 and 2023 Festivals before going one better in the 2024 Arkle. Better than ever this season, landing the John Durkan before losing little in defeat at Kempton and Leopardstown, so he can make his presence felt.

@Mart!n 8.1213-14 Jango Baie 7 11-10 T: N J Henderson J: N de Boinville 11/2 About: Winner here on chase debut last season and made it 2-2 at this venue when charging home in the Arkle. Impressive Grade 2 Ascot reappearance success was followed by a close fourth in the King George and another bold show is expected with this further step up in trip promising to suit.

Here we go then with the draw: @Viper* 9.31P-222 L'Homme Presse 11 11-10 T: Miss V Williams J: Charlie Deutsch 50/1 About: Decisive winner of the Broadway Novices' Chase at the 2022 Festival and fourth in this race 2 years later. Clearly retains plenty of ability, aged 11, judged on this season's efforts but he was comprehensively outpointed by Haiti Couleurs in the Denman Chase last time.

Yes #92 was the peak.

Kesha Vs Kelly it's two titans who met twice this season and its 1-1, they're joint favourites, they turn into the home straight with two hurdles left to jump and there is nothing to separate them as they approach the last hurdle. They jump it together, they're streets ahead of the rest, the crowd is going wild it's still neck and neck as they approach the winning post and it's an photo finish.
