Formscan - Progressive over fences last season, Haiti Couleurs is not easily overlooked reverting to hurdles for his reappearance. However, it could pay to give another chance to EAST INDIA EXPRESS. The latter was travelling well when falling at Cheltenham on last month's seasonal debut, and Nicky Henderson's inmate has solid claims based on his six-length victory at the same venue in April. A winner at Punchestown when last in action, Thanksforthehelp is another to consider given his trainer has won three of the previous eight renewals.
