American Sniper (G)
[BT]
Returned to form when runner-up at Taunton (19f) in December. Fared best of the pacesetters back there the following month and while he was a bit disappointing back from a break at Hereford 3 weeks ago, he represents a yard in excellent or…

Byzantium (G)
[HT]
Landed wins at Warwick and Newton Abbot last summer but proved way too free returning from a further 5 months off at Ludlow in March. Settled better and still every chance when running out at Wincanton last month and he has the same mark h…

Impecunious (G)
Unreliable type who didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap over 3¼m here in July. Left Chris Down after and likely he needed his first run in 10 months at Warwick 18 days ago. This will reveal more.

Ellerton (G)
FAV
Fairly useful on the Flat and an improver over hurdles upon joining Joe Tizzard, well prepared following 6 months off when landing a 17f handicap here 2 weeks ago. Should stay this far at a venue like this and 5 lb rise looks within range.

Chillhi (G)
[BT]
Won twice over hurdles for James Owen in the first half of last season but hasn't offered much in 5 outings since leaving that stable.

Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024 but lightly raced and much more miss than hit since.
