Sabrina won over a longer trip here in November and was second on a return visit last month but has been raised a further 2lb since. Gladiateur Allen has been below par the last twice but HITITI continues in good form. A victory for Caspers Court in the previous race would boost the form of his latest second at Fontwell and he has run his best races here, including one on this card 12 months ago. Judicial Law came good around this time last year while American Sniper faced a tough task at the weights at Newbury last week and was only beaten a neck in his only previous run in a handicap.
