22/1

Smart chaser. Showed he's still capable of useful form over hurdles when winning a 23f Thurles conditions event in March but well held twice since. First run for yard after leaving Willie Mullins. Check the betting.

Form: P0P1P-5

20/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Gave his all when a good seventh in the Pertemps at Cheltenham in March but not in the same form at Aintree and Haydock since. First run for yard after leaving Nicky Henderson.

Form: PP/37P-0

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Harry Cobden| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 124

18/5

Took advantage of a reduced mark at Market Rasen (21f, good) 31 days ago, getting on top late over a trip which is a bare minimum for him these days. The return to further is a plus for one who remains well treated on old form.

Form: 5/68P5-1

American Sniper^b,t³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: D Pipe| OR: 123

10/3

Back to winning ways in 5-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (2¾m, good, 9/4) 32 days ago, well on top finish. Will need more to defy a 6 lb rise in this deeper race.

Form: 0324-51

Gabbys Cross⁶⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Tudor| T: G Nicholls| OR: 121| D

18/1

It's now 20 runs since his last win in 2022 but should find this a bit easier than the Scottish Grand National and Bet365 Gold Cup he's tackled on his last 2 starts. Has left Nick Scholfield ahead of this return to hurdling.

Musique De Fee^b,t1³²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 121| BF

8/1

Last win came in 25f handicap hurdle at Cartmel last May. Also placed twice over hurdles there last month and a third outing in quick succession was presumably simply too much when pulled up last time. Tongue tied first time.

Form: P0-223P

Miss Goldfire^t²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: C P O'Shea⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 116| CD

4/1

Winner of handicaps at Fontwell (2¾m, good) and Newton Abbot (3¼m, good to soft) on her last 2 completed starts. Another 8 lb higher now but has to merit respect in her current mood.

Form: 86P-1U1

Escapologist^p,t1³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: J M Quinlan| T: Nick Scholfield| OR: 115| BF| DWS

17/2

Seemed to benefit from the step back up in trip/switch to hold-up tactics when opening his account in handicaps at Market Rasen (23f) in March. Left James Owen prior to third of 5 at Plumpton (3¼m, good) 33 days ago. Has undergone a breathing operation since and also wears a first-time tongue tie.

Form: 4514-63

My Gift To You^t,v³⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: J J Burke| T: James Owen| OR: 114| D

15/2

Likeable sort who proved at least as good as ever when making a winning hunter chase debut at Warwick (33f, good) in May. Respectable fifth in Cartmel handicap chase since. Has lower mark back hurdling.

Form: 6942-15

Oakley²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Conor Ring| T: Mrs C Williams| OR: 113

11/1

Winner of 2½m handicap hurdles at Hereford in November and May. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Worcester (2½m, good to soft, 7/2) 22 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 044-123

Forecasts

American Sniper (10/3), Crebilly (18/5), Miss Goldfire (4/1), My Gift To You (15/2), Ebony Warrior (15/2), Musique De Fee (8/1), Escapologist (17/2), Oakley (11/1), Gabbys Cross (18/1), Bold Endeavour (20/1), Blizzard Of Oz (22/1)

CREBILLY needed pretty much all of the 21f to get up at Market Rasen last time and can make light of a 4 lb rise now stepping back up in trip. Ebony Warrior is another last-time-out winner who still looks on a workable mark, while Miss Goldfire won a weak race last time but is in the form of her life at present.
