⭐ Main Contenders
Inion TiogairIn-Form
Winner of 3 of last 4 starts over this trip including recent success in February; career-best form on current mark despite 10lb rise makes him the favourite here.
KillycarnConsistent Type
Won on handicap debut followed by a close second at 2m4f; steps back slightly in trip which could suit, and looks reliable with progressive handicap form on his side.
Orange DiamondReturn to Form
Won 3 hurdles in 2025 then scored on return to fences in December; dropping back to hurdles and light weight could see him regain winning form.
BannisterValue Profile
Last winner in September 2024 and well suited by good ground; coming back from a break, requires best form but capable if tuned up.
⚠️ Next Best / Dangers
Midnight ViewMixed Form
In the frame in two handicap runs but disappointing latest outing; could bounce back but needs to improve to challenge the principals.
Son Of HypnosUnexposed
Has won hurdles and chase in Ireland, latest in July 2024; might benefit from drop in weight but fitness and race sharpness remain concerns after long absence.
SnapiusProgressive
Showed some improvement with a win at Huntingdon over this distance; needs another step up to compete with front rank but is on the right path.
❌ Outsiders / Weak Profiles

Placed in maiden hurdles and chases since returning to hurdles but looks to lack winning potential in this competitive race.

Minor promise early but pulled up far out on handicap debut; questionable stamina and form make him a long shot.
