Voix D'Eau finally produced some sparkle which has been missing for quite a while when runner-up at Carlisle but he'll need to improve again in order to defy topweight against in-form sorts. Fortunes Hiding seeks a hat-trick after finding a rich vein of form of late but he's up in grade here and COPPER WEST is a preference. He ran really well at Haydock last time despite having been hit with a 10lb rise for his previous success and makes appeal dropping from Class 2 to Class 3. Keep on both Sunsetstorise in first-time tongue tie and blinkers for Gordon Elliott and Diablo De Rouhet on debut for Nicky Henderson. Quest For Life is not ruled out either.
