Verdict
All of these return to action and Paul Nicholls’ STORM ARISING may have the edge. The latter has undergone wind surgery since runner-up in a chase at Huntingdon in March and has won off a higher mark over hurdles. Certainly Red has been raised 8lb having ended last year with a victory at Kempton while Frenchy Du Large and Chinwag drop back down in class for their comeback runs. Tallow For Coal and Keep Rolling could also go well.
