None of the 5 can be ruled out but NO RISK WITH LOU confirmed he's in better form when third at Huntingdon and can take advantage of a handy mark. Siam Park has taken well to fences and should be better for his comeback run, so is feared most.

Followed up bumper success with back-to-back hurdle wins but has failed to meet expectations switched to fences, pulling hard both starts. Still early days, though.

Took well to fences in the spring, winning twice. Should be sharper for his comeback run at Newton Abbot and remains unexposed in this sphere.

Verdict
All 5 of his wins have come here, latest on penultimate start over C&D when sporting a first-time visor. Probably remained in form when fourth of 6 at Fontwell and must be respected back at this venue on return.

Verdict
Runner-up completed starts in points and progressive form over hurdles, winning 2 of his 3 starts in handicaps. However, made an underwhelming start over fences after 5 months off at Newton Abbot 7 weeks ago and tongue strap now applied.
