Verdict
Chambard has only finished out of the frame twice in nine starts over fences and has won easily at Exeter and Fontwell this season. He is likely to be a warm order in this upped another 7lb but STORM ARISING is almost certainly better than he has shown so far and has won off a higher mark over hurdles. Barnaviddaun seems to be struggling for confidence.
