Stormez who was slightly disappointing when beaten under a double penalty last time out looks set to bounce back to form now he is handicap company for the first time over fences with conditions in his favour as he looks well handicapped on his best hurdle form. Emperor Ross is improving with each run but this is his stiffest to date and he may struggle to last out this marathon trip.Dancetillyoudrop has been in good form of late has conditions to suit and he could run well at a fair price. Lisdante is also in good form likes the conditions and this dour stayer could be the one to be on off a light weight.
