Risk De Pluie
Having not been seen to best effect at Exeter last time, RISK DE PLUIE will be suited by this longer trip/track and he's capable of making a bold bid. Soldierofthestorm bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt over fences and should have more to offer, while the admirably consistent El Granjero is entitled to be in the mix in a tight handicap.

Finished ahead of a pair of next-time-out winners when second on chase debut at Warwick (soft) but undone by his jumping faced with sharper test a Windsor (16.2f, good) on New Year's Day. Tongue strap on first time and may be seen to better effect over 2½m under these conditions.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor2m 37yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/4Warwick2m 54ySoftChase2/9Plumpton1m 7f 195yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/4Newbury2m 2f 183yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Doncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle4/10- 5Risk De PluieJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Ben Clarke322-263Age 711/411/45/2

Winning pointer/hurdler who has shaped well under positive tactics and maintained his run of good form when ridden with more restraint to finish third at Exeter (17.5f, soft) last time. Track/step back up in trip will play to his strengths and he could make a bold bid if allowed his head.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 1f 109yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/11Cheltenham3m 1f 56yGood to SoftChase6/8Lingfield Park2m 6f 10yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/10Wincanton1m 7f 149ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/6Exeter2m 3f 48ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5- 1El GranjeroJ: Richard PatrickT: Clive Boultbee-Brooks2224-42Age 711/411/43/1

Reliable sort who sole start in Irish points and has improved as a chaser, runner-up in two of his 3 starts over fences to date, latterly when jumping better in a 3m novice chase at Exeter. Likely testing conditions should offset this drop back in trip and he can give a good account again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter3m 54yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/6Aintree3m 210yGood to SoftChase4/6Ffos Las2m 4fSoftHurdle4/9Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/6Uttoxeter2m 3f 207ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/5- 7Rip WheelerJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore442-11PAge 65/15/19/2

Winning pointer from a family Moore stable knows well. Progressive over hurdles and continued in a similar vein when making it 2-2 over fences at Lingfield (2½m) in November. Some mitigation for disappointing hat-trick bid the following month and could get back on track in first-time blinkers.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWincanton2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/6Lingfield Park2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Huntingdon2m 3f 189yGoodChase1/8Huntingdon2m 4f 145yGoodHurdle2/14Sandown Park1m 7f 216ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/7- 6LylianJ: Freddie MitchellT: Gary & Josh Moore66-1234Age 511/111/112/1

Bright start to his chase career in France last summer (changed hands for €95,000) but has shaped with little promise on either start for new yard (who also saddle Rip Wheeler). Handicapper has been quick to relent but remains to be seen if he fares any better back on an easier surface.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/6Ascot2m 2f 181yGoodChase3/3Dieppe2m 1f 88ySoftChase2/5Dieppe2m 5f 192ySoftChase1/8Pau2m 1f 88yHeavyHurdle6/8- Non-Runners

Lengthy gelding who landed a gamble when winning a 14-runner handicap hurdle on return at Catterick last month. Advanced his form first time up over fences when clear second at Hereford (20.9f, soft) last time (suited by the way the race developed) and there should be better to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 4f 194ySoftChase2/11Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGoodHurdle1/14Punchestown2m 3f 93yYieldingHurdle14/25Wetherby2m 5f 56yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/13Huntingdon2m 4f 145ySoftHurdle8/14- 2Mon ChampionWithdrawnJ: Non RunnerT: Paul Nicholls2U-6261Age 6

Fairly useful French hurdles winner. Back to something like his best returned to more testing conditions, edging ahead on line to land a 5-runner 2m chase at Hereford (soft) on Monday. Not yet fully exposed for top yard and merits respect stepping back up in trip.
