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 this represents a slight drop in grade.

Mount Anglesby (G)

[T]
Cemented excellent start for this yard when recording win number 2 in handicaps at Warwick (21f) in March. Beaten only by 3 less-exposed rivals off a mark 4 lb higher at Plumpton since and remains of interest.

Donnie Azoff (G)
[T]
Didn't need to improve to resume winning ways in a small field here (21.7f) in October. Found his brief run of good form coming to a halt at Fontwell the following month and given a break since.

Pike Road (G)
Looked likely winner when unseating on second chase start at Ludlow and quickly made amends under a well-judged ride in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) in November. Respectable efforts at Cheltenham (3m) prior to findin…

Cluain Chormaic (G)
Has shown fair form when placed on 3 of her 4 starts over hurdles, including when third of 12 in 19f maiden at Fontwell last month. Into handicaps now and his opening mark looks workable.

Individualiste (G)
[P]
Fairly useful chaser at best but lost his way for Gavin Cromwell and was pulled up back over hurdles on first outing for current yard at Uttoxeter in March. Plenty to prove.

Oakley (G)
Left previous efforts for the yard well behind when scoring with plenty in hand over C&D in November. Disappointing next 2 outings but took a step back in the right direction when fourth in 19f handicap at Stratford on latest start.
