Blizzard Of Oz (G)
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.

Bold Endeavour (G)
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.

Crebilly (G)
[P]
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.

American Sniper (G)
FAV
[BT]
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.

Gabbys Cross (G)
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 (M)
[BT1]
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.

Ebony Warrior (G)
[T]
Built on an encouraging reappearance when back to winning ways in 11-runner event at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Still looks fairly handicapped off 6 lb higher.

Miss Goldfire (M)

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.

Escapologist (G)
[PT1]
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 breath…

My Gift To You (G)
[TV]
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.
