Swnymor has suffered a huge fall from grace since falling at the last when poised to land the Grade 1 Finale Hurdle at Chepstow at the beginning of 2013 but has been showing little signs of a revival. CALCULATED RISK, on the other hand, appears to have got his confidence back and is the form pick of his latest third at Ffos Las. Athou Du Nord arrives off the back of a win in a higher grade at Fakenham but Filatore has run poorly on the Flat since winning at Ffos Las. Fountains Blossom and Brise Coeur have a bit to prove nowadays.
