Formscan - SAINT SEGAL found things too hot to handle when he failed to complete in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham and the Melling at Aintree on his last two starts. However, he may find success is much more attainable at this level and looks worth another chance. Crebilly has been consistent and is another to seriously consider off only 3lb higher than for his Worcester success, while Riskintheground, a nine-time winner over fences, shouldn't have any issues dropping in trip and is another strong contender.
