Jimmy's Jet won at Ayr in October but swerved and unseated his rider on a return visit and again carries a penalty. Split The Bill was only fourth when favourite at Catterick but is probably open to improvement. GUN RUNNER CASH is a half-brother to a bumper winner and Sean Bowen switches to Gordon Elliott’s second runner following the defection of Music Drive. Brian Hughes partners American Land for Stuart Crawford and he is also worth a second look but Barnards Green is already starting to look exposed.
