AMERICAN SNIPER was far from disgraced when sixth in a better race at Cheltenham last month, showing plenty of verve from the front that day and he can score with a top conditional rider in the plate. Eire Street can leave his comeback run behind and back up in trip, he could be dangerous if in the same form as when second at Kelso in April. North Parade is better than he showed last time and could be in the mix with a cleaner round of jumping.

    Verdict
    Bounced back to best with cheekpieces refitted when gamely landing 4-runner handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f) at the start of November. Raced enthusiastically in a competitive Cheltenham handicap (21f) 41 days ago. This looks an easier race and he could be dangerous if getting his own way in front.

    Verdict
    Three-time hurdles winner for Charles Byrnes who ran well on first 2 starts over fences for new yard. Ran below form at Kempton on final outing and struggled when back hurdling from a 7-month break (pulled up Sandown 19 days ago). Needs to leave that run well behind and visor applied for first time.

    Verdict
    Much improved for new yard at the beginning of 2024, easily winning heavy-ground handicaps over C&D and Ayr (20.5f) in February. Good second of 16 at Kelso on final start last season. Shaped as if needing the run on comeback in October (63 days ago) and should be more at home back up in trip.

    Verdict
    3-time winner over hurdles (including here) who saw out the longer trip after 7 months off when third of 9 at Perth (20.2f, soft) in September. Backward step when pulled up at Kelso 47 days ago, folding tamely (jockey felt something was amiss) and market should indicate what's expected here.

    Verdict
    A three-time 2m4f scorer at Newcastle last term and showed benefit of reappearance when fourth at Uttoxeter last month, Disappointing upped to 23.3f last time but yard has turned a corner in recent weeks. A better showing expected here and can be in the mix if his jumping holds up.

    Verdict
    A three-time hurdle winner since joining Mark Walford but proving hit and miss of late, a well-held fourth in 3m Aintree handicap and a below-par fourth of 7 at Market Rasen 29 days ago. Needs more to take this.

    Verdict
    Winless last season but signed off with a good third at Ayr (21.4f) in the spring and similar form after 7 months off when second of 6 in handicap hurdle here (19.7f) last month. Found out in a better race at Cheltenham last month and this looks a more realistic assignment.

    Verdict
    Enhanced superb record at Market Rasen when landing the valuable Summer Hurdle in July. Hard to find excuses for his last two runs. Generally seems to be a better horse in the summer but has gone well fresh in the past (returns from 62-day break here) and not ruled out if staying this longer trip.

    Verdict
    Completed hat-trick in game fashion at Cartmel in August 2022. Off the track for 28 months so no real surprise she didn't show a great deal at Uttoxeter 16 days ago. Looks up against it here.
