Lallygag (4/6), American Sniper (7/4), Lunar Contact (6/1), Urban Soldier (8/1), Afta Party (28/1), Gabriel's Getaway (40/1), Silver Atom (50/1), St Patricks Bridge (66/1), Ipsos Pierji (100/1), Call Me Tlalok (150/1)

Verdict

AMERICAN SNIPER has shown a really likeable attitude in scoring twice this term and with this longer trip a plus he is taken to edge out market rival Lallygag, who has also started life well over hurdles and seems sure to go well once more. Both Urban Soldier and Lunar Contact shaped promisingly on their respective debuts in this sphere and need considering too in a competitive maiden hurdle.
