LOG HOUSE HALL (NAP) arrives in good form over hurdles having completed a double last month with a victory at Cheltenham. Related to a couple of winning chasers, Dan Skelton's charge gets the nod on his first start over fences. Kilgefin Star did not fare too badly when third on his chasing bow at Carlisle and that looks stronger form than Paradise Valley's placed effort at Uttoxeter. Gold Futures has won four times over timber and should have the measure of Chase The Wind if taking to fences while Lisbon is having his first start since 2013.
